It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....well....not really,

but here inside the Stout home, Christmas is in full swing! Saturday we finished up some shopping and today we mailed a package to California and we have packages ready north to Minnesota! Also, last week was been a busy one; Madison has had 2 Christmas Programs (school and church) and we had a family get-together last night at Gma & Gpa Stout's in Ankeny. There we made & decorated Christmas cookies, decorated a grandkids tree in the basement and ate and ate and ate! YUMMMY!!!!!! Here are a few pics from those festivities.....

The rest of this week is pretty low-key....and we will just being doing laundry, chores and packing as we get ready to head to Minnesota for the holidays....it will be soooooo FUN! They may have SNOW there this weekend! Maybe we will be able to take the girls sledding or something fun like that!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
