Christmas Eve

We ended up leaving Iowa for Arkansas a couple days early (Friday the 19th) for Christmas break in order to dodge some snow storms. We made it to Arkansas safe and sound. We really enjoyed our time there and took full advantage of the warmer temperatures. We spent several days at the park with temps in upper 50's - low 60's. Madilynn really enjoyed her time outside. I did some baking and made my Christmas cookies. This year I made Peanut Butter blossoms, no-bake cookies, and these sugar cookies - YUM!
There were so many pictures to sort through, but here are some of my favorite. We spent Christmas Evc at my grandmothers house with all of my mom's side of the family. Here is a picture of us all - Mama (grandmother), Aunts, and cousins.... (need more boys - ha! currently only 1)
