Making Memories

Well, I know this took me a long time to post but here's our pictures from Christmas Break! We had such a good time in Iowa with our family and friends. What a blessing it was to be able to come back for 2 weeks! It flew by!

The first day we were back, Jake went to work bright and early and I hit the sledding hill with Rebekah, Elizabeth, Dad and Mom!  
I love this picture. Making memories:)
On Christmas Eve Day when went to Eldon, Ia where Jake's Grandparents live. Eldon is a small town in Iowa but it is popular because it is the town where the American Gothic house still stands! So of course, Jake and I had to go visit the new American Gothic visitor's center.
 I sure married into a sweet and loving family! We had a great time in Eldon.
After driving home from Eldon, Jake and I jumped into our car and drove to Marshalltown to go see my grandparents. Chas took this picture of Grandma and I. This is a picture I will Cherish!
Christmas Eve, Matt, Shannon, Jake and I all slept over at my parents house. The girls decided to wake us all up early Christmas morning:)
My mom found these hilarious pajama pants that look like jeans! Matt and Jake loved them.
This was Jake's number one favorite present.... Shannon knit him a penguin!!! She is amazing!
Here's the girls with their shirts that Jake and I got them. They say, "Somebody in Chicago loves me." 


We also had a Christmas with Max, Rita, Sarah, and PJ. It was so great being together! We had a wonderful time! Sorry I don't have any pictures of us:(

And last but not least, over the Christmas break, we were able to hang out with our old college group, Ethos! It was so fun seeing everyone!
