Bormann Christmas

My precious babies

We took off for to Iowa on Saturday morning.  We ended up stopping in St Peter at my friend Nissa's house.  I forgot black tights for Madelyn and she was kind enough to let us borrow theirs.  It was a great place for a pit stop so I could feed Jack and we could get out and stretch for a bit.  The best part was catching up with their family as we haven't seen them for awhile now that they live in St Peter.

We got to Iowa around lunch time and had our traditional chicken noodle soup.  Oh so yummy!  Even better for me this year as I was still feeling under the weather.  If it hadn't been Christmas I'm not sure I would have made the trip.  Then we opened presents which was a lot of fun.  Jack was more interested in climbing on all the boxes!  Madelyn opened 2 presents to everyone else's 1 present!  One of Madelyn's favorite gifts were the Minnie Mouse slippers she got from Mama and Gampa.  She loved wearing them!!

Then we went to Mass.  The kids did great and Madelyn enjoyed checking out the manger after the service.  Then it was back to their house for dinner…..stuffed pork chops which are always so good!

Even though our trip wasn't long, it's always a fun time in Iowa!  Madelyn loves it there and Jack was all about the marble machine and his Uncle Chris!
