We just returned from 8 lovely Christmasy days with family in Nebraska and Iowa. We love spending time with our family – cooking, eating, laughing, playing games, watching Sound of Music, catching up on life, giving gifts and getting some great ones, too!

Sylvia gave Great-Grandma the teddy bear for Christmas. GG named it Nutmeg.

Christmas Eve


Grandma made Sylvia, Lily and me matching aprons!

Super fun Headbandz game.

We went for a walk on the prairie on Christmas Day.


Sylvia and Grandpa in their Hawkeye colors. 🙂

Making a gingerbread house with Laura.

We love our sweatshirts!
