Texas Trip!

This Christmas we traveled to Texas to spend Christmas with Nate's dad, step mom Judy, his sister Mardi and her two boys and his brother and his two boys. We were very excited to get away from the loads of snow we had in Iowa to some place a bit warmer. Well I guess the snow followed us! Texas hasn't had snow on Christmas for over 80+ years and sure enough it snowed on Christmas there this year! Oh well it melted the next day!

Marlee on her 1st plane ride. She did awesome! Except for the 1st flight when she was super exhausted and cried for 10 minutes which seemed like an hour for me! Thanks to Uncle Drew for helping me out!!


Marlee and Ethan waiting patiently at the airport for our flight out.

Hotel Fun! We stayed at a nice hotel with a swimming pool and fun center. The kids loved it!

Oh and what fun an elevator is to little kids! Marlee's goofy smile. Cousin Cole: THANK YOU so much for being such a big help!!

Marlee is for sure our perfect traveler. It didn't even phase her to be away from home!

You can just see the excitement in his face!

Marlee's TOO!

With 5 boys it was a bit crazy I must say!
