Joseph and I got to go to Iowa for a week for Christmas! It was wonderful to have a break for that long and see all my family. I had not seen my brother since our wedding so I was long overdue for a visit with him. Joseph and I felt very blessed to get to be there and enjoyed every minute. We spent the whole time visiting, and of course eating! We took family pictures too but I don't have them on my camera :(. Anyway, here are a few pictures of our good time!
John Hurston and Katie Grace put on a guitar/singing show for us. They are thinking of going on tour soon :).
Before Presents
After Presents
Katie Grace and Micah painted these paintings all by themselves (from looking at a picture)! We each got one from them. Notice one is not like the others. That one was for Amy, and we are pretty sure they made it unique to suit her personality :)!
Joseph spent hours shoveling snow and ice. THEN we had a winter storm and it snowed several inches! He finally gave up after awhile.
And finally, Lucy thought we were absolutely crazy for taking her somewhere so cold. This is how she looked almost the entire time we were there! (In case you can't tell, she's trying to sit down)
