Christmas in Pella

We headed to Pella this past weekend to celebrate Christmas with the family. We started off the day by making gingerbread houses. Jay and I argued over whose gingerbread house was better...of course mine was the winner! Jack also tried to get in on the fun...but he was mostly interested in eating the candy! After dinner, we had a surprise visit from Santa (aka Jay)! As soon as Santa walked in the front door Jack immediately started crying....and he didn't stop crying until Santa left! (Poor little guy wasn't feel well that night so that may have had something to do with it). When Santa left, we continued opening presents and then ended the night playing games. What a fun night! Christmas next year will be even more fun with two more babies in the family!

Jack did not care that Santa brought him presents...he wanted nothing to do with him!

Not very happy about sitting on Santa's lap!

On Sunday we headed to Grinnell to celebrate Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa McCulla. Jack was running a fever all day, so we weren't able to stay too long.....just long enough for lunch, presents, and a few pictures!
