Christmas week

We had a great time with family over the Christmas holiday. Christmas Eve we went to church with my parents and then spent the evening hanging out with the Hirschman side. Christmas Day morning we opened presents and had lunch with the Hirschman side, then went to Hansen's (Kirk's mom's side) in the afternoon. Friday morning we did a little bumming with my parents and sister. Then Friday afternoon my dad's brothers family came for a quick visit. Friday night we celebrating Kirk's grandparents 60th wedding anniversary back in Sioux City. Saturday morning was a baby shower for one of Kirk's cousins, then Saturday evening was the extended Puttmann family Christmas. Sunday morning was with the Hirschman's then afternoon we did Puttmann Christmas (with immediate family). We were planning on going home Sunday late afternoon, but it got too late. We left Monday morning for the return trip. We had a really good time, but it felt very busy! Hope you enjoy the pictures!
