Happy Holidays

Christmas Morning with Grandma Carrell

Jane's digging in and checking out what she got.

Christmas dinner in Iowa with Grandpa


Grandma Feekes


We arrived in Sioux Center Iowa to celebrate Thanksgiving & Christmas! Jane really put on a show...she was practicing her smiles and giggles.
This Holiday Season we were able to spend time with family over Thanksgiving and Christmas.







This post is just a brief summary of the past few months.
Over Thanksgiving we traveled to Iowa to see Jon's family. It was a wonderful trip, Jane did so well and we were able to see the the Feekes family. We also enjoyed Christmas together. To cap off the Thanksgiving weekend, everyone traveled down to St. Louis for Jane's baptism. We are so glad grandparents and great grandparents were able to join us.

Christmas was met with much anticipation and we were excited. Jon, Jane and I traveled to my parents and enjoyed several days of celebrating, playing games, and visiting with family. The week even included a suprise scavenger hunt around Springfield on board the Springfield trolley.

2008 was filled with many blessings. God is faithful and we look forward to 2009. Happy New Year!!!

Thanks for the new pictures! Very cute. Glad you had a wonderful time in Springfield. And, of course, we LOVED having you here and then being part of the baptism celebration. Very special times.
Love,
