Christmas

So Christmas has come and gone and of course we spent most of our break traveling. Carter woke up Christmas morning and was very surprised by all the gifts that Santa Claus had brought him. Needless to say there were plenty. After we cleaned up the mess that was Christmas morning we packed up and started the trek for Ankeny to Nana and Papa's. When we got there is was chaotic, like usual, but what can you expect with 10 adults and 7 kids, 6 of who are under the age of 5! Carter had a great time playing with all of his cousins and openening even more gifts from Nana and Papa. Sissy got him new shoes, Hawkeye black and gold Nike's! On Friday morning we got up and Steph went to look at the West Des Moines Manor Care facility, more on that later, and then we started our trip to western Iowa. The weather was surprisingly good and we made it to Grandpa and Grandma's in plenty of time to see that there were even more gifts for Carter. On Saturday we went to Storm Lake to have a family picture taken with the whole Kuhl family, and let me tell you the photogropher must have had a wide angle lens as it was a huge group. After that we went to the Demers' family house for supper and then started our path back to Des Moines as the weather was supposedly bad.
