Christmas Day
 We invited my dad, Judy and Jim to join us for Christmas dinner.  The Kahlers came over later.


Christmas with our family
Brent and family arrived Friday evening.  Saturday the Kahlers joined us.  Saturday was our "Christmas" together - a big dinner and opening presents.  We attended the Iowa basketball game in the evening.  It turned out to be a very close game vs. Bryant.
