Christmas 2011 with the Cress Family

We packed up the Jeep on the 23rd and drove the 7.5 hours across Indiana and Illinois to the wonderful state of Iowa for Christmas this year.

Nervous that Santa wouldn't find him in such a wonderful place, Nate was stoked to see that Santa loves gift in Iowa as much as in Ohio.



Opening presents at Casa Cress on Christmas morning is always a trip.  Joseph got a pack of fake mustaches (hilarious), Dad opened a true Hawaiian shirt from the Ohio State Alumni club of Hawaii (from Nate, of course), Mom got some cute new clothes (some even with the security tags left on- awesome), Elyse opened her signature Lego set of the year, as the new home owner... Nate got a leaf blower (I'm actually pretty pumped about this), and I think Andrew put every article of clothing on that he received. :)

 



 
 



 
 



One of the highlights this year was the couple's gift that Joseph bought for Mom and Dad... matching Nerf guns!  The whole family broke out into war for a hilarious morning of family bonding.








Merry Christmas!
