Holiday Happenings

We started Christmas week deciding we still had time to build a pond. We stripped black dirt with the scraper. Mark dug the core with his trackhoe. This is Mike and BJ moving clay up the dike slope.
Jan had our Christmas meal family style around one big table set up for 26 people. Here a couple of boys are either helping prepare or snooping supper.




Opening gifts starts out with a plan but gets somewhat unorganized as the kids help open and play with each others presents.




For the last couple of years Grandma has given new pajamas for Christmas. This was an attempt to get a picture but not all the kids thought it was such a great idea.





Karl purchaced a blade for his IH 1566 so he was our official snow removal fellow for the week.






Chris and her husband JP and three foreign exchange students from South Korea visited Iowa and stayed in the cabin. Here the boys are experiancing Iowa farm life.







Pictured below are my cousin Chris and my cousin Sandy with Bianca in the back hanging on because her mom is driving. Having extended family is a blessing.
