Wil and I decided to take a weekend away for our main Christmas gift to eachother. So, last weekend we drove to Amana, Iowa to explore the Amana colonies. We left Friday afternoon and spent the night in Cedar Rapids. Set out the next morning for Amana. There are a lot of little stores and we spent the day walking around and shopping. Had lunch at the Ox Yoke Inn, where they serve German type food. Visited a few wineries and a microbrewery. We ended up coming home Sunday night as we ran out of things to do (a lot of things were closed due to the season). It was nice for us to get away together and spend some time alone.

Alex is doing great. He keeps making us proud!
