Iowa City visits

While Michael was slaving away at work on Black Friday, the kiddos and I headed to Iowa City to visit with family and friends. Our first stop was at Lolly & Del's (my step-grandparents). We hadn't visited them in a while and to our surprise, my step-brother Gabe and girlfriend Pam were there too. I hadn't seen Gabe since my wedding. LONG time!!! We stayed for a few hours and by the time we left, I was starting to be stressed by my kids. {sigh}

 So we moved on to our next place of visit, where I told the hostess that I was glad to be there because I knew my kids couldn't hurt her house. Gotta love a Grandma's house!! My good childhood friend Bren was home for Thanksgiving, so Alicia & I combined our children and invited Bren to come play. It was fun and chaotic and I'm glad that the Basement is still useable for children. We spent many hours and nights down there. Now I know why. :0)
