Hello Friends & Family--
Let's start with my side of the family...I'll save Chris' side for the next post. So, we headed to Nebraska for our first set of Christmas adventures. First up was Aurora/Marquette, NE! We enjoyed visiting with everyone and some good food too! I know Cam enjoyed himself...so many people to cater to him :) I don't think he knew what to do at first, but quickly caught on. He had everyone going to each room to look or play with something new. Told you he was busy!

| Playing on the piano...after Great Grandma Mert said she never let the kids bang on the keys ;) |
 |
| Cousin Riley! |
 |
| But why can't you take it out, Aunt Amy? |
 |
| Spoiled little boy! |
 |
| Great Uncle Mike was a big hit...he showed me how to use my tools! |
Next on our adventure was Ravenna, NE! Again we got to see lots of family! There's an adult/big kid gift exchange every year and Cam was pretty adamant about opening all those gifts. We've had our issues here and there about opening up gifts under Christmas trees. He's been pretty good, only a few had to be rewrapped. We again enjoyed visiting with everyone and another great meal! I only wished we weren't so far away so we could visit more often! This time Cam managed to take home a souvenir
from Great Aunt Teresa, one that I didn't find until we were back in WI :) I still need to get that in the mail too :)

 |
| Happy! Well maybe not Keith... |
 |
| Lincoln Logs! Yay! |
 |
| Great Grandma Dee! |
Lastly on our Iowa/Nebraska adventure was Waukee, IA. Cam enjoyed having the run of the house and once again was catered to by everyone. He's such a lucky little boy to have so many people that love him! It is going to be a bit confusing for him trying to keep it all straight when he's older :)
 |
| More Biscuit books! Yay! |
 |
| Great Grandma Norma Jean! |
 |
| Smile :) |
 |
| Cheese! |
 |
| And I'm done. |
 |
| I LOVE videos!! |
We only spent about a day and a half in each state. That's a lot of driving for such short visits! Plus we added in the pets and gifts to make one heck of a stuffed car. It's always worth it when you get to see your family though!
My Mom's side's Christmas was in mid January and we were unable to attend :( We certainly missed seeing everyone! One of these years we are going to get it coordinated to see EVERYONE!
A big thanks to all of our Nebraska & Iowa families! Love you all!
Love,
Chris, Amber & Cameron
