The Sunday evening before Christmas Eve we had planned to drive from Strawberry Point (from the Glew Christmas) to Paul's parents in Maquoketa so we could enjoy some time with him. My parents lead the way since they were headed in that direction back to Clinton. Unfortunately the Iowa weather got the best of us. It took us an hour to drive from Manchester to Peosta and finally we gave up in Peosta! I never thought that one little hotel there would come in handy for us! We had a fun time staying with Mom and Dad at the hotel. We even brought in a crock pot full of chili left over from the Jackson Christmas for supper! We were more prepared than we thought!
We spent Christmas Eve at Paul's Grandma's in Maquoketa. We gave Alyssa some fun books for Christmas. I'm not sure if Paul or Alyssa is more excited!
Paul got in a few rounds of Kings Corner with family! We headed to Clinton later Christmas Eve night to go to the Christmas Eve service and enjoy time with Abby's family.
