Christmas at Mimi and Papa's

This past weekend we went to Iowa to celebrate Christmas a little early at my parents house.  For Christmas we will be in Minnesota at Andy's family as all of his brothers will be home with their families for the first time in years.

 

This Christmas we were missing my dad as he was at my brothers house helping him after he had surgery this past week.  My sister was there with her two cute kiddos who are the same are just a year older than Drew and Claire and it's a BLAST!

 

The weather for December is crazy unseasonably WARM!!!  We were outside as much as we could and loved it!

 

Claire just loves her cousin Lucy!!!  They loved playing dress up together!

My sister Allison is back living in Iowa for this school year before they move.  It's so nice to have her just hours away, she's SO much fun!

Drew opened from his cousins a really fun fishing game.  I'm not sure who was more excited him or Andy..

Claire and Lucy helping each other out

The girls just love their MiMi

My sister needs to open a business as she's an amazing cook and baker!  I have no idea how she does it as everything tastes like it came from a bakery or restaurant!

Claire and Lucy enjoying one of the many treats!

Sat morning we went to the Bass Pro Shop and went bowling.  The kiddos loved it as the lanes looked like ocean water and there were fish hanging everywhere!

More dress up!

Waiting for someone to push them..

Busy breakfast conversations!

We had a wonderful Christmas full of laughter
