Noah’s First Christmas

Noah’s first Christmas was great!!! We traveled up to Mason City on Monday afternoon. We ended up hitting a detour, so it took us longer to get there – Noah did fine on the trip, it was Rick and I that were getting pretty restless! We opened presents at Rick’s parents house on Christmas Eve. We didn’t time it very well – we ended up opening presents when Noah was getting pretty tired, so he was more interested in sleeping. Christmas Morning we woke up and had some breakfast and then started packing to head to George. On the way through Emmetsburg, we stopped to visit Joni and her family for a little while to try to catch up.

Once we got to George, we had our family Christmas that night. The next day we lounged around and then had to get ready to have my Mom’s side over for Christmas that night. We were supposed to go to Klaassen’s house, but Deb got the flu, so she was obviously not feeling up to having a houseful of guests.

Saturday we had Christmas at Grandma Krull’s at noon. After we opened presents we headed out so we wouldn’t get back to Kansas too late.

We had a great time for Noah’s first Christmas and it was great to see everyone!!! I think Noah was excited to get out of his carseat when we got back though. We laid him on the floor and he just started kicking away!!

By the way, I would post some pictures…but that is the one thing we forgot in Iowa. So until I get our camera back, you’ll have to wait on the pictures. Sorry!! So the picture of Noah here is from Rick’s phone…not the best quality, but it will do for now!
