Luneburg Christmas 2008

This Christmas we were lucky enough to travel home to Iowa together! I had a week off of work which I had gotten written into my nursing contract with UCSF. We didn't have any problems getting home either! We flew into Kansas City a direct flight from San Francisco. We spent the night at a hotel and drove the next morning to mom and dad Luneburg's house! We had coordinated with the Silber fam and both mom and dad were to sing solos at Olivet Baptist Church in Des Moines so the Luneburg side of the family joined the Silber fam at Olivet for Christmas Eve candle light service. Both mom and dad sang beautifully! After church the Silber fam, including new foreign exchange student Jun, and Zorro the family dog joined the Luneburgs' at the house in Winterset for Christmas Eve Dinner! It was so fabulous to have everyone home together again! Justin and Sam made it in from Denver earlier in the day, Ty and Tracy came from Tracy's family's house and Josie and the Silbers were there! We ate Christmas Even Dinner and read about the night Jesus was born and had just a fabulous time talking with everyone! The Silbers actually spent the night at mom and dad Luneburgs and we headed into Winterset to stay at Ty & Tracy's house with Justin and Sam. We all stayed up until around 4 am together playing this game called Pop 5! It was so much fun and of course the LADIES WON! Sadly, the next morning Jason developed a horrible migraine that ended him right in the ER in Winterset. After a couple doses of Toradol, Zofran and a liter of NS he was more alert and his headache was more tolerable. We were supposed to drive to Missouri for the Silber family Christmas but with the whole migraine experience we settled in for another night at the Luneburgs. Here are some pics from the Luneburg Family Christmas!

This was our Christmas tree in San Francisco, we were able to squeeze it in our tiny apartment! And you can also see my nativity scenen in the background!

Brother Justin, the Chiropractor, eating SKITTLES! He is such a health nut always preaching about being organic and we were able to capture him indulging in some sweets!
