A handcrafted barn from etsy was our biggest splurge.
We don't usually give Santa gifts, but this year link heard a lot of "what did Santa give you?" And was wondering. I was conflicted not wanting to reject any magic of the season, but not really enjoying the creepiness of modern day Santa. (We do celebrate the legend of st. Nick). I told him in response he can say anything he got because everyone gives in the spirit of st. Nick.
No tree this year, but we did get some decor up.
In Iowa we did a white elephant Christmas at Dustin and vahidas before we went to Kentucky.
Christmas at Papas usually means endless showing of The Christmas Story.
We stayed at Laura's. We hadn't seen them her since before she and Bryce's uncle got divorced so it was a little different, but still good times.
This year the weather was warm in Paducah.
Uncle John had added a game room to the garage.
Felix met papa for the first time. He wasn't feeling well but I asked a ton of questions and he shared lots of stories. We heard he went to the hospital the day after we left.
We swug around to see the Marshalls in Cincinnati. It had been 6 years since we all were together and our families had all substantially grown.
Since we were over that way anyway we went up to Columbus to meet up with Phil and Teresa and the girls. There was a lego exhibit at the art museum replicating the city. We also did a little pre birthday celebration with Felix.
