Merry Christmas!

Our trip to Iowa could have been a difficult one with the blizzard warnings in the state of Kansas and Iowa. Luckily, I was off of work early on Tuesday and Dana was also able to get off in time for us to leave by noon. We beat the storm and were able to spend 3 fun days at my mom's despite the freezing rain, snow and blizzard like conditions! We weren't sure we would make it to my brother's on the other side of the state, but thanks to Dana's driving abilities we made it without difficulty. We did see a few cars in the ditch and one on it's roof! Many people were without power and lines were down all over the western side of the state. We are thankful that we were able to spend a warm Christmas inside with our family. We are now at my brother's until Monday morning and the kids are having fun playing with their cousins. Unfortunately, we were unable to see my dad this year (so far anyway), but hopefully with us living closer next year, we will be able to see our family any time we want! Merry Christmas to all our family and friends! We hope you were able to beat the storm and spend it with those you love.
