Merry Christmas 2015!!

Christmas started early in Gordon's hometown of Minocqua, WI the weekend after Thanksgiving.  We went to the local Ace Hardware store to see Santa and we successfully were able to photograph the kids without Mommy or Daddy sitting next to them (next to Santa!!).  YAY!  Then we went on a magical horse drawn sled ride...Jackie and Steve sure do know how to show us a good time, weather permitting or not!

Alexa performed at the Des Moines Christian School Christmas concert.  She did such a wonderful job!!  Our baby is growing up!

My Mom arrived to town the Sunday before Christmas--what a great time!!  We made some of the best cookies for Eve Eve service at church...  Speaking of church, we were able to kick off the Christmas festivies with a wonderful service at our church, including my cousin Lee, then we all had a wonderful meal at Bone Fish Grill where my Dad was able to join us and we had an exciting night--welcome to Des Moines!

Christmas Eve was a great day!!  And let's not forget Christmas Day!!  What an amazing time all around...wow, we were able to enjoy so much time with the children AND my parents!  Yay, Thank You Meme and Grandpa Steve (aka Skeeter) for being with us.  Wow, what a wonderful time!
