Iowa Trip

December was a very busy month for us. We started out the month with a trip to Iowa with our friends from church. Andy and Mindy are from Iowa and they go back every December to visit Andy's mom. Margaret and Willie have been going back to Iowa the past 2 years and was going to be going for their 3rd time. Jeremy and I and our Pastor Bill and his wife Kelly decided to tag along with them. The guys' mission was to hunt as much as possible. From left to right: Pastor Bill, Willie, Jeremy, Andrew, and Andy.

Here is Jeremy modeling Andy's mom's cafe hat. This is where us women and kids hung out while the guys hunted. Shirley's Home Cafe. Yummy!
Here are the kids: Abbey, McKenna, and Andrew
Here's Andrew on the sidewalk in front of Shirley's house. If you walk just two blocks down, you're at the Cafe.
Andrew and McKenna playing in the snow in the parking lot across the street. There was more over there then in Shirley's yard.

On Sunday, we took a trip to Des Moines to visit my family. We went to church and then stopped by my cousin Kate and her husband, Ben's house. Andrew loved how much snow was on the ground.

After seeing Kate and Ben's house, we headed to West Des Moines to see my Grandma and her husband John. There was just as much snow there and Andrew decided to make a snow angel.

Here is Andrew with his Granny and Papa John. We had a great time seeing everyone and Grandma made a delicious barbecue sandwich lunch with a cherry cranberry pie for dessert!
