Christmas in Iowa City- Christmas #6...The Final Christmas of 2009!!!!

Saturday morning we headed to Iowa City for the Bechtel/Houser Christmas at my aunt's house. Maddie and Brady got a Wii for Christmas so the little ones loved playing with them!
Me and my cousin Brad relax!
Brad, Brian, Dan, and my Dad head to their favorite place in Iowa City, John's Grocery Store. They have one of the largest and most extensive selections on microbrew beers. The boys stocked up!
V and Maddie had lots of quality time! My cousins from South Dakota were snowed in all weekend. Mindy, Woody, Samantha, Alinia, Benjamin, Taylor, and Kurah were very missed!
Alaric was so excited to open gifts. Our family draws family names and you buy things for the whole family so you have to be creative. Becky and Auntie Doris gave the little ones their own gifts too.
We drew the Brad Houser family this year and made them Ladder Horseshoes. Brady was really excited.
We also made them beanbags- they loved them!
Wii was a big hit! The guys spent lots of time in the den this Christmas- Brady had lots of male bonding.
Always exciting...when you get to be taller than your Grandma.
Mom and Dad got these super soft personalized blankets.
Auntie Doris loved her handmade skarf ( By Jennifer) -doesn't she look glamourous?
Dad learns how to read stuff on a blackberry!
Best entertainment...put a baby in front of the window on a sunny, snowy day to watch the birds eat!Brady and Alaric loved their time together!
The roads were bad, the weather cold but we had a wonderful time with family in Iowa!!!
