Barntsen Christmas

After being in Omaha for a few days, we headed to Council Bluffs to the in-laws. Grant and Brooke kept us on our toes, and we all enjoyed hearing their stories and seeing their latest tricks ("skipping" being one of them.) Grant just knew that Santa was going to bring him a guitar and after Mimi made a special phone call to Santa's elves (literally), Grant got his wish!
Brooke loved her baby.Lots of snow = fun sledding!

Although, going down the hill is a lot more fun than coming up it.
Our little ISU cheerleader. Go State!
Playing bad guys in "the forest."
Wouldn't be a Barntsen Christmas without a girl's photo shoot and matching clothes *smile.
Yes, we were freezing. But so worth it for cute snow pics!
Well look at that, matching zip-ups and scarves...
Beautiful Brooke showing us her new outfits.
"So big!"
And so sweet!
Once again, we were lavished with fabulous food and quality family time. With Greg and Natalie living in Ohio, we cherish our time with them and their two adorable children. It's always wonderful to all be together in one place for a couple days.

We got home late Tuesday night to feet of snow and ice in our driveway and sidewalk. Thankfully we live in a town home and don't have a ton to shovel, but it still took us about an hour to make a path. The gifts are not all unpacked, the house is a mess with boxes and things sprung here and there, there is laundry to do and thank yous to write, the dishwasher has yet to be unloaded and I didn't make my husband dinner BUT I got pictures uploaded, edited and two posts done and that makes me happy. I hope you had a blessed Christmas as well....
