We had a whirl-wind of a trip home to Iowa for Christmas. We left at 5pm on the 23rd and arrived in Sioux City at 8am on the 24th. We had Christmas Eve at Mark's sister's home on the 24th. On the 25th we had to be to Bronson for Christmas with the Hardy's at 8am. We then went back to Mark's parent's house for Christmas with the Rousselle's at noon. Then back to my parent's house for Christmas with the Moon's at 5pm. On the 26th we hung out at the hotel, where everyone was staying, so the kids could go swimming. Then that night we went to Town House to visit with all our Sioux City friends. We headed out at 9am on the 27th and we were home by 11pm on the 27th. It was a fun trip but too fast and much too crazy!
