Christmas

 A wonderful Christmas, even though it was a bit different than previous years. Still lots of presents, filled stockings and two excited boys.  We didn't have our normal Christmas Eve festivities, but Santa did end up calling us on Facetime and happened to leave presents (a LEGO train and rocket) out on the deck.

A very COVID Christmas

 Foster was singing a negative song about a COVID Christmas and I told him he needed to come up with something more positive--thus 7 days of COVID Christmas was born. We never made it to 12, the boys lost interest.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Dad's December birthday is usually too cold to enjoy being outside, but this year it was a warm 50-60's. We headed to Loose Park (although the boys weren't excited about it at first) but once we got there they loved the wonderful climbing trees.

Iowa Christmasing

 Getting cousins together for some of Granma's rye bread, lots of sweets and presents, and some snow baseball for good measure.  

Happy 6th Birthday Austin!!

Kai got a special present under the tree, his old Nemo, who had been lost for a few weeks.

The epic fort!
