Christmas

 This year we had Christmas in Ottumwa with my side of the family on Dec 18-19. Christmas Eve at home on the 23 and Christmas Day on the 24. Then we went to Marion for Christmas with Keenan's side on the 25-27.

 

Keenan and I had fun making a charcuterie board for Christmas eve! We played games then feasted and watched Polar Express with the kids.

Christmas morning the kids were so excited! We opened stockings, then had a candlelit waffle and bacon breakfast, then the kids opened gifts, and Keenan and I read our Christmas letters to each other.  We had a fantastic dinner of steak with herb butter, potato, asparagus, and garlic bread.  I didn't take any more pictures of Christmas eve or day at home. Too busy just enjoying the moment!

The 25th was the day after Christmas for us. The kids enjoyed a relaxing morning playing and I packed for Marion and baked gingerbread. The gingerbread made the house smell amazing! The kids also played a short game of D&D with Dad. I got to help Nora do her part.
