We got the tree up for the first time in our new home, 121 K Ave. We are all loving our new house and are so thankful Mom was ready to pass it on. We closed on 527 Highview St. on December 9 and then on 121 K Ave. on December 20. Slowly it it starting to look like us as we start to hang some of our things on the wall and figure out where we want everything to go.
Lanie had a Holiday music concert at Tope Auditorium. It was so nice to feel a bit of normalcy for her.
We went on our first college visit with Carter to Iowa State University. He's still not sure if or where he wants to go. He'll figure it out, we believe in him.
Christmas was at 121 K Ave. this year too. We had Grandma's chicken and noodles, opened presents and played BINGO.
We got Lanie lots of new pants, a diary, The Office Little People, and a mini fridge for Christmas. Carter wanted clothes, a couple books, and Madden 22. I got Matthew a new electric toothbrush and an Ireland map. Matthew got us tickets to Broadway series at the Civic Center. I can't wait for these great dates:). Matthew also got the cats a cat tree. It's been fun watching them explore.
After nearly 2 years we saw Matthew's sisters. Allison invited us for Christmas lunch. It was so great to see them and catch up.
Our staycation experiment with the Lynch's worked! Each adult had a day to cook and pick an activity. Monday was Mike's day and we went to the movies; Spiderman 3 and Sing 2. Tuesday was my day and we went bowling at Perfect Games. Wednesday was Shanna's day and we watched the ISU bowl game and played games. Thursday was Matthew's day. We played pool, video games, watched a movie, played Rummikub and BINGO, ate a lot of food and relaxed. Hopefully the kids will remember it as a fun time together.
