We got a little bit of snow..

This is what our drive to Rock Falls Il. looked like...

Snows a little deep...

Chris & Jenn were out playing in the snow and taking pics and Chris has NO coat on....

For like a week and a half before Christmas.. It seemed to snow almost everyday.. When my mom is here... It doesn't snow.. She leaves and it snows...

I LOVE the snow.. as long as I can just sit in the house and watch it snow thru the window....

But, we had to go to Dan's family for Christmas.. about 2 hrs away.... and it was nasty till about half way there..... and then it was sunny and beautiful.... But that's just what we have to deal with living in Iowa... But, me being a southern girl... I don't like to be out in it...

Our prayer's were answered

Aaron & Jenn

Travis & Jenn.. (he hates his picture being taken..)

We were able to have the whole family together for Christmas. And you might ask... Why is that so hard??? Well were a blended family. And trying to get my husbands ex to agree on something that we want, well, it's almost impossible... But we did it this year... and let's not forget that I have to juggle times and such with my ex's family (even tho he is alot easier to work with).. But, this year the star's just lined up perfectly..
