We had a wonderful christmas in Des Moines. {even though mark had to work and we barely saw him :( it was really sad and he was exhausted the entire time but it was great to have my parents and brother and sis-in-law here!}
Lucy turned one the day after christmas - which is kinda more of a challenge and more tiring that I thought it would be! But no matter what day it is I want her to always know how incredibly special she is and how much I view her life a precious miracle! We had fun celebrating with our family, opening more presents, eating pizza and watching her smash her cake in her face
Then dr mason finally got a few days off over New Year's Eve so we went to Branson for some r&r and it was awesome! We went to silver dollar city to see all the lights and drink hot cocoa and watch the Christmas parade.
And spent a lot of the time in our pjs by the fire!
One of the days it warmed up a little and we took a walk to kamp with the coopers/Coles! It was refreshing just to be outside and fun/sad/exciting to see what all is happening at k1.
And 2014, please warm up soon! The high in Des Moines is -1 today! Yikes.
