New Year's Eve

Older cousins Josh and Daniel traveled to Ames to watch the Cyclones play basketball, so the girls hung out with Patrick all day.

Christmas and trip to Iowa

We celebrated Christmas a little early because Daddy was working overnights.  Here are the girls opening their presents Christmas Eve Day.

Layla and Carly

We flew to Iowa Christmas Day.  The girls were very good on the airplane.

Layla loved looking out the window.

Carly fell asleep for part of the flight.

Layla had fun with Daddy.

When we got to Iowa, there was plenty of snow on the ground.

              While we were in Iowa, the girls had fun getting to know their aunts and uncles.
