good-bye

On Monday, we said good-bye to all the grandmas and grandpas in Storm Lake and headed back to Ames. We really had a wonderful visit, but there is just something about heading home...being in your own house and sleeping in your own bed.

We gave Grandma Petersen some big hugs...

...and squeezed in a Petersen family photo (minus Jen & Joey, who we will see TOMORROW)!

Back in Ames, we unpacked, ate a yummy steak supper, and then...more presents to open! Getting a cute picture of these 2 together is getting more and more difficult... :)


Will was digging into his presents from mommy and daddy (new clothes)...

...and Keatin is loving her new/new-to-her present...her own computer (AKA - an old Mac with lots of preschool games from my principal/her daughters)! (Here she is opening the keyboard).

Ah - the best part of the day...clean, good-smelling, sleepy kids. :) Thanks G & G Barber for the matching jammies...we love them!
