Our Christmas

This year Matthew and I stayed in California for Christmas. We can't complain about the gorgeous weather! Wherever you were, I hope you enjoyed a time of rest, reflection, and relaxation with your family. "The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen the glory, the glory of the One and Only." John 1:14

Meredith got Matthew a game called Ticket to Ride (a great gift idea for game lovers). We've been playing it every night since Christmas Eve!

We opened stockings together on Christmas morning...and my husband is the best stocking stuffer EVER! :)

We went to church together as a family on Christmas Eve, had dinner together, and opened gifts. Matthew, Mer and I got Travis an authentic Iowa Hawkeye's game jersey. He was pretty excited!


On Christmas Eve day Meredith and I baked some goodies together...Oreo Balls, Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies & Lemon Bars. MMM! Oreo Balls are a favorite Christmas treat:


Oreo Balls

Crush 1 package of Oreos.
Mix with 8 oz. softened cream cheese.
Roll into small balls.
Dip in melted white chocolate.
Best eaten when frozen!
