We drove back to Iowa for Thanksgiving for a week, since we wouldn't be coming back at Christmas time. Lance got to meet A LOT of realtives on both sides of the family. Our first stop on our way to Ames, was in Iowa City. We went to my Aunt Susan's 50th birthday party at my aunt and uncle's Winery. There, Lance met my mom's side of the family. He met Great Grandma McNutt for the first time, too! We had a great time catching up with my cousins, etc. and Nana and Papa enjoyed the quick visit as well. After that, we continued on that night to Ames.

Grace had a great time with Great Grandma as well and enjoyed pushing her wheelchair around like it was a stroller!! They played great together.

My Grandma Port and Nana and Papa came to John and Carlene's for Thanksgiving. We had a great time with everyone. Lance got to meet Great Grandma #2!

We celebrated Christmas with grandpa and grandma Malin early since we won't be with them this year. Grace had fun opening her gifts - and Lance's, too! It'll be a little different next year I'm afraid! :)
Auntie Erin and Uncle Scott came from Ankeny to meet Lance for the first time. It was fun! Fortunately we'll get to see them for Christmas at our house.
