Same tricks, different day. Ryan played this time, too, with the help of Alishea.

This kid is adorable! He was pushing Santa’s butting and singing and dancing. 

Well, it’s not a trip to Iowa if someone doesn’t get sick. Caden got sick on Christmas Eve. He was starting to feel better by the end of the day, so we went up to church to listen to Grandma’s choir. We stayed in the balcony and I took a bucket just in case. 

We played a lot of games at the kitchen table this trip. It was pretty fun. Here we are playing Uno Attack, which spits cards at you if you have to draw. Sometimes nothing comes out and sometimes a pile spits out. It was pretty fun. Counter Clockwise starting with me (Caden), Zeek, Alishea, Marley,…

Great Gram and Aunt JoJo came over for dinner on Christmas day. All of our cousins were celebrating with their own families, so we hung at Grandma and Papa’s. We had a delicious lasagne dinner, which is a tradition.

We had a debate at school. We were debating text books vs. iPads/Chrome books, etc. I was on the team for text books. I think iPads are expensive and break often. 

We had a yummy dinner at Jon and Sara’s and celebrated Hanukkah.

We went to Spider Monkey because we knew Micah and Remy would love it. We all had a blast!

Overall, it was a great day at the zoo. The animals were all very active.

We fed the birds and they were hungry, which made it really fun. We all got a bird on our hand at some point.
