Christmas 2012 and New Year's 2013 was celebrated in Des Moines, Iowa with the Hougtons.  What a celebration we had with Christmas festivities, bowling, basketball game, swimming, exercising, gymnastics, eating out (Tasty Taco), church,  and shopping.  Even with the chilly weather we enjoyed every moment of our time together.  The photo above is of Sara and Lori opening their gymnastics mat from Grandma Patty and Grandpa Charlie.  What a delight to watch those 2 excited girls.  We are so blessed to have such a special family.  This was definitely a memory making holiday.
