Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Korte

We left Brooklyn and headed Southeast to Keokuk.  We feel so blessed to have our families to spend Christmas with.

 Here we go!  They got some really cool fact type books.  They love that stuff.

 Even Libbi got some presents!  We have to keep her hooked up with Cyclone gear!

 The Under Armour sweatshirts were a big hit.  I got my Skinnytaste cookbook, which I have used a TON already.  We love those recipes.

Ethan is already wearing his new presents!

 There were many Legos to be constructed, and that is what Owen wanted too do first.  Mom has a funny story about Owen and Legos.  We all went shopping together one day in Iowa City.  Mom and Dad were looking at Legos in Target with Owen.  Mom showed him a set that was designed for his age, 4.  He looked up at her with a little exasperated look and said, "Really?"  Then he picked up a set designed for a 9-12 year old and told her that was the type of Lego he liked.  Mom settled on one for 5-7 year olds and everyone was happy.

 We all like to use Mom and Dad's assorted collection of mugs in the morning.  The adults drink coffee while the kids fill theirs with sugary cereal that I do not normally buy at home.  Mom got the Angel Grandma mug for a present.

 Kyle is helping Ethan build his lego set.  The boys love playing with him.

The ladies are in the kitchen making breakfast!  I think we had biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs and bacon.

 Let the games begin!  Kyle got a game called Las Vegas.  It was really fun, a nice combo of luck and strategy.  We played that a ton.

 Ethan got the game Bounce Off, which was really fun, too.  Owen liked that game a lot.

 Everyone (except Mom) got a new sweatshirt.  We had to get a picture of us all together.

And a crazy one!  The men need to work on their crazy.

Mom was not too broken up about not getting a sweatshirt.  She liked her presents!
