Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Birthday

We had such a nice "vacation" being back in Iowa. It was so nice to see all of our family and friends. It is always crazy chaos during the holidays for us. We celebrated Christmas with both sides of the family.

Here are the boys in their Christmas jammies :)

After Christmas the celebrating doesn't end. My mom's birthday is on December 30th. We went to dinner at Olive Garden to celebrate both her birthday and mine (Jan.2nd). Then comes New Years and my birthday. As much fun as we had, we were ready to get back home into our own beds and back into "normal" life.



As you can see, it took us a long time to unload the van after the trip. I am not sure we could have fit even one more present!
