Merry Christmas!

We have been blessed to have Oma & Opa visit us over the holidays. They both arrived safe and sound this past Tuesday between snow storms back in Nebraska. Ironically, the weather has been better up here than back home for them. Since they are here, Izzy has been staying home from daycare to be spoiled by constant attention. Here are a couple of pictures from Christmas Eve & Christmas Day. Hopefully all of your celebrations were as special for you as they were for us.

Izzy is excited about her flying dragon!

Clay decided that everything was not intended for Izzy. Her box is mine... ALL MINE!

Izzy being shown a present from Oma & Opa... a barnyard puzzle. But the crinkle ribbon was just too mesmerizing for her.

The men (all 3 of them) carving the turkey for Christmas Eve dinner.

Izzy's first taste of Oma's famous Christmas cookies. Like true Bures women, she LOVED it.

Teta & Judo were able to send a Christmas card to Izzy all the way from Syria. She enjoyed this one as well.
