Christmas in Iowa

Over the river and through the woods....to Grandma and Grandpa Erb’s house we go...
We had a relaxing few days before Christmas....catching up with cousin Ella...



...and learning to snowboard from Uncle Nate!


Christmas Eve was filled with Whattoff Family fun!


Great Aunt Kathie managed to corralle all the second cousins for a festive picture.  

Christmas Morning!  Stockings filled with goodies kept the boys occupied until the rest of the family joined us for gift opening, lunch, and an afternoon of game playing. 







Ella and Jacob are two, silly, peas in a pod!

Christmas night took us down the road to Great Grandpa Erb’s house.  Packed with over 65 aunts, uncles and cousins, we had a surprise visit from Santa and fun opening presents.  




Great Grandpa saves his change all year.  Everyone in the family gets a guess at the dollar amount in the jar.  Then it’s all hands on deck to count the coins and award the closest guess!

John and Kenny helped with counting this year!

After Christmas, we had a few days to relax and play.  We celebrated Grandpa’s birthday, played with Ella, cheered on the Cyclones Bowl Game, and camped out in the treehouse with Grandpa!  We couldn’t have packed in more fun if we tried❤️
