Merry Christmas...Part 2

More pictures from Christmas....

Me and my flannel boys! This is what Luke wanted them all to wear on Christmas...go figure! :-)

Lots of presents Dylan's favorite job...cleaning up!

Cannon wins the 2010 "Corn Challenge"...we will take 2011!

We all decided to go bowling on Sunday. It may have been a bit aggressive thinking it would be easy with a 4 year old, 2 2 year olds and a 4 month old. We had our hands full. They didn't quite understand why they couldn't chase their balls down the lane.

Addie's turn to bowl

Kelly (37 weeks pregnant) trying to help the kids bowl...this is right before Dylan took off running down the lane in which Kelly decide to chase after him. (she didn't want him to get hurt...haha) Instead she slipped and fell right on her tailbone...ouch!

Thanks Kelly for trying to keep Dylan safe!!

Emelia gets her turn

Goodbye Iowa!

My parents went above and beyond for Christmas again this year. We had a fabulous time in Iowa and came out like bandits. It was so fun to see Dylan kind of "get" Christmas this year and I'm sure next year will be even more fun.

Thank you Mom and Dad for your hospitality, generosity and of course all the FOOD! I'll be spending the next month working off all the calories I ate the past 5 days.

Lastly, we started a new tradition this year (copying a friend of mine, Melissa). I am going to trace the kids hands each year on the underside of my new tree skirt! Such a great idea...I can't wait to show the grandkids in...40 years! :-)
