Gabrielson Christmas

Hello all. We celebrated the Gabrielson Christmas last weekend at Adventureland Inn in Altoona. It was a lot of fun and a lot of commotion. :) We met at the Botanical Center at 10:30 and took a tour. The kids and adults loved it! It was really interesting.

Then we went to HuHot Mongolian Grill in West Des Moines for lunch. The food was really good and the place was packed.

We headed to the hotel for swimming in the three pools. We also had a mini birthday party for Zella's first birthday.

Next came supper (spaghetti with meatballs), stocking presents, entertainment and gift exchange with our godchildren.

We had a great time and a lot of laughs. It was so wonderful to see everyone and spend time together. It was really fun to watch the cousins laugh and play.

We missed Karen, Minnesota and Gracie so much!!!!

Unfortunately I don't have photos...my pics didn't turn out. So if you want to see photos check out my brother's online photo album. (Click on the "Kurt & Christa" link to the right)

Thanks to my family for all the fun gifts for us and the girls. Zella was really excited for her birthday gifts too.

More later,
Lori
