We had a great holiday season and enjoyed seeing a lot of family. We spent Christmas in Missouri with the Tanners. The girls had fun playing with their cousin Jamie and with all their uncles. Unfortunately Mark's grandpa died a few days before Christmas so he joined his parents and brothers on a trip to Utah for the funeral. The girls and I headed up to Iowa a few days early to be with the Hansens. It was difficult for our family to be apart during the holidays, but good for Mark to be there to support his grandfather. He joined us in Iowa for New Years.
Here are a few pictures of the girls in their Christmas dresses.
