Collins' First Christmas

**WARNING picture overload**

We headed to Galva on the 22nd and stayed until Christmas morning. We went to 2 birthday parties,  2 Christmas's, introduced Collins to lots of people and had a great time spending time with family.

The day after Christmas we went bowling. Nana Jana, Amber and Tara had to work but the rest of us had a great time. The kids bowl better then I do.

Little one slept and I made sure everyone cleaned their hands before touching her :)
 
Lastly, we had our 4th Christmas on Saturday with my dad's side of the family

Dad desperately needed a coffee maker. The clock on his didn't work and the only way he knew how to set it was a light turned on at midnight so he would count to five for 5am.

Majority of the Longs. We missed Amy and her family and my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins
 
Guess only a few of us got the be silly memo

There is no greater gift than this one...
