This year we stayed in Kentucky for Ben's first Christmas. My mom, Brenda and Cary, and Elizabeth all came to our house for Christmas. Due to Nathan's vacation/schedule, we had planned well in advance to go back to Iowa to see family for Thanksgiving and stay home for Christmas. Both Nathan and Ben were sick at Thanksgiving, so sadly we didn't make it back to Iowa. Nathan is on call for work through New Year's, so we couldn't change our plans last minute. We were very happy to see our family! We had seen Brenda in November, my mom in September, Cary in August, and Elizabeth in June, so we were ready to see them! We were very sad that we didn't get to see the rest of our family though! Nathan's cousin Lacie is getting married on January 9, so we are planning a trip to Iowa then to see Nathan's family. Hopefully the weather cooperates!
Nathan's parents and my mom came on Sunday and left this morning. Elizabeth got here on Monday and left on Saturday. Ben has been sick with a double ear infection and a cold and I have had a cold as well. Nathan, his parents and sister went to Maker's Mark Distillery, to go on a tour. My mom, Ben and I stayed home because a lot of the tour is outside and its cool and damp. We all met up later at a Equus Run Winery for a tasting and then went out to eat dinner in Lexington at Buddy's. The food was really good and we had a lot of fun.
Here are a few pictures from this week:
There were a few pictures of all of us where Ben had a more pleasant look on his face, but he didn't have the Santa hat on, so I had to post this one!
This was at Buddy's! The food was yummy and we had a good time! Also it was one less meal we had to cook! Gotta love that!
