We ventured to Iowa for Christmas. Luckily, we were already there when the storms hit, and had a blast in the snow. None of us mind the cold and snow, and in fact it was a fun change from the dreary rain we get around here! We opened our family presents here at home before we left. We had 3 Christmases while there, plus lots of visits with family. Jack was quite confused though, because he kept getting birthday presents from various people, on top of all the different Christmas presents. He kept asking, "is it my birthday again?" The kids had a blast with Grandma Carol, Papa Stan and cousins Sierra and Eric. We were very busy, and are now totally exhausted. It was totally worth it though! Thanks to all our family for a wonderful trip.
This is at the Hormel Spam Museum in Austin Minnesota. It was a great little museum, complete with lots of spam! Ryan bought some, and cooked it up a couple of days. The kids all actually liked it!

I see you! Jack did not put his Lightening McQueen car down all week. He raced it all over Grandma's house, the walls, chairs, floor, stools...
