We made the long trip up to Iowa for Christmas. We left the afternoon of the 23rd and headed up to Macomb to stop in and spend the night with Drew and to break up the drive. We got about to St. Louis and hit an ice storm so a 7 hour trip turned into about a 9.5 hour trip. We got up the next morning after it had iced and snowed all night and left early to make it to Mom and Dad's. It took a while to get to the Quad Cities but after that the roads were clear and smooth sailing. We made it to Mom and Dad's about 2 in the afternoon on Christmas Eve and were ready to just relax.
Christmas Day we got up early and headed over to Aunt Donna and Uncle Jewel's in Cambridge, IA. First though, we stopped to pick up Grandma and Grandpa.
Almost everyone was able to make it for at least a little while.
If anyone has a house for celebrating Christmas in, its Aunt Donna, check out all her decorations!!!! She puts these up and takes them down every year and the dining room is just the begining... I always look forward to going over to her house for the holidays. Its so nice and cozy and full of holiday spirit!!!
