Christmas in Cedar Rapids

Last Friday (Dec. 9th), we headed up to Cedar Rapids to Grandpa Jerry and Grandma Phyllis' house to celebrate an early Christmas. Jeff, Wendy, Trey, Chase, and Tony were all there as well. It was a houseful!

We spent the night in their now usable basement and got to enjoy the warmth from their new gas fireplace. The boys enjoyed decorating cookies and of course, opening presents!
