An Iowa Christmas

We spent a couple days in Iowa for Christmas surrounded by lots of family.  It was a merry Christmas and we hope yours was too.

Evan was the life of the party.  The cookies may have played a role in that.

Adam stayed close to my cousin Mitchell, kind of like a shadow

Emily and Max.  Max and Evan are just weeks apart in age.

He loves being a big boy

Starting to get ready for the gift exchange on Christmas Eve

Aaron opened some Hawkeye merchandise, which was quickly snatched up

Adam and Austin

Santa found us in Iowa.  Here Adam waits very patiently to open presents.

So excited!!!

Evan got the hang of opening gifts too.

Reading one of his new books and eating a treat from his stocking - what a life.

The boys enjoyed a Christmas lights tour - we could even walk through this person's display.
