Christmas in Mt Ayr



















































































































































































































Saturday morning we woke up and celebrated Christmas. Boy, was it crazy, in years past we would make the kids take turns so we (adults) could what they got. Not this year. the older three ripped into them so fast, I barely caught them opening them. It was fun seeing them all so happy. Later in the morning the men and the girls went outside to play in the snow. Patrick being from the east coast was excited as the kids! They were probably out there for an hour or so. Ever since Hannah has been born mom and dad read the grandchildren "The Night Before Christmas" well this year with 5 kids it was alittle more difficult to get them to cooperate as you can see. We went to Joe and Julie Routh's last night for supper. It was one of the best meals I have ever had. Seriously, it was like going to a 5 star restaurant. Katie Routh was there cooking. It was fun to see so many people.

I'm about as worn out as Hannah and Haydn look!!!!!! Was certainly a fun time with the 5 little ones opening gifts. Seemed like a Norman Rockwell setting when Papa and the sons-in-laws took the 3 older ones out sledding. Glad that Patrick has got to experience our IA weather!!!!
