Christmas festivities 2012

Our Christmas season was full of fun!

December 19th, Nate took Katie to her class party at preschool.  I was due to take the treats & help at Kevin's class party on Friday, December 21st - but mother nature had other plans!   


The last two days of school before Christmas break were cancelled due to a blizzard!  We woke up to a very cold house on December 20th.  Our power was out for about 6 hours, brrr!  Compared to many people in Iowa, we were lucky our power wasnt out too long.  

  Needless to say, being snowed in with two kids five days before Christmas was rough.  To say they were excited for Christmas was an understatement.  They drove me nuts!    To keep them busy, we even got out the finger paints:

 ... but it was a good thing for me to be snowed in... I finished decorating the house, setting the dining room table, wrapping gifts, some baking, and cleaning.


My parents arrived on Saturday, Brian came on Monday evening.  The boys went to the iMax movie theater to see Polar Express, then we met up with the Spradlings for a family friendly church service at 3:00.  The kids were very well behaved at church, all of the adults were pleasantly surprised!
