MERRY CHRISTMAS

Joel left for Iowa on the 13th. After a long week of lots of snow and being a single mom, the boys and I were supposed to head down on Friday the 19th. They ended up with freezing rain and snow in Iowa Thursday-Friday, so we only went as far as Krista and Brent's. With all of the snow here, we didn't end up leaving until Mon. morning. The kids played very well and Krista, Brent and I got in a solid 10 hours of CLUE playing over the weekend!!! We finally got to Ankeny around 5:30 Monday night. We had a little b-day celebration for Joel (check out his new Superman pj bottoms from the boys), and then went to play with Jake and Chase.

We didn't get to spent nearly enough time with the Kinney cousins since our trip was cut short, and they went to their other Grandparents' Tues-Wed. They got back just as we were heading to 4:00 church, and we had a great dinner after that! Oh and of course there were tons of presents involved!

Why do you suppose the boys have no problem on a 7 hour car trip, but they can't handle a 1 hour church service??????
