We left Muscatine on December 22nd and headed west to celebrate Mollie's first Christmas with the Euken's. Mollie was eager to see the farm! Love is not a strong enough word, but Mollie LOVED Patch, the dog.
I think the feeling was mutual. Patch would come up to the door and Mollie would immediately crawl over and "pet" him through the door and grunt in delight.
Since we were not going to be able to be at the Nichols' family Christmas, we stopped by to spend some time with Grandpa and Colleen. Mollie was even giving out some rare snuggle time!
Aunt Michelle got some practice feeding Mollie
Grandma Euken fed Mollie a few bottles
Mollie even got to meet Elizabeth. She was Bret and Michelle's babysitter when they were little.
On Christmas eve we went to church and celebrated with the extended Euken family. Mollie was quite a ham in church. She enjoyed throwing cheerios on the floor, making lots of noise with the bulletin, and making lots of un-lady like noises if you know what I mean :)
After opening presents we had brunch with Grandpa Nichols and Colleen. The weather was so nice, we decided to take Mollie out to experience the farm. (That is worthy of an entire blog post of its own!).We visited the Nichols family later that afternoon. After a bath by Grandma Euken the next morning

I'm loving the christmas posts!! You guys are such a great looking family - my favorite pic is when you're all in black patterns - perfectly complemented! glad you guys got to do so much for the holidays :)
I love the matching family pic too!
I can't begin to imagine Mollie being unlady like in church. I hope you pinched her buns for me.
