Fun filled weekend with the Rabe's

Our friends the Rabes invited us to come the a marriage conference through their church for Friday and Saturday. While Grandma Rabe and Jason's sisters Julie and Jessica stayed at their house and babysat Fox and their son Kaden...free babysitting...overnight, how could we refuse! The conference was in Des Moines, so we went there for the night and had a great time. We met Jason's other sister Jen and her husband Jordan...yes that is a lot of J's in one family :) we went to their house for dessert and she made some really yummy pies! It was a lot of fun to get to know the Rabe's more and have an adventurous drive back home in a snow storm! There were at least 15 cars in the ditch but our trusty driver Jason got us home.
I had the Rabe ladies...as I like to call them :) pick up a Dairy Queen ice cream cake for Mike and we surprised him when we got back to their house! It was a lot of fun. Thanks so much to Grandma Rabe and Julie and Jessica for watching Fox!! We know he had lots of fun with you guys and it was really nice to have a special time away!
