This year Christmas with the Farley's was different than normal - We ended up celebrating Christmas during the weekend of the 16th - 18th...and in Iowa City at Mike and Lianne's house. Tradition is always so nice and comfortable, but change always brings about new and exciting moments, so it was neat to have a different Christmas experience! Mike and Lianne's house is big and beautiful, and easily housed the whole family for the weekend. No surprise - Lianne is a WONDERFUL hostess, and we stayed in comfort and ate like royalty. :)

| Seriously scary Santa - Rachel and Santa have a love/hate (mostly hate!) relationship - and this MAY have been Santa's last Christmas with the Farley family! |
 |
| Christmas dinner - YUMMY! |
 |
| God bless us, every one! | |
SUCH a great weekend with people we love. Thanks Farleys!
