An Iowa Christmas Celebration

Following Ben and Elsa's wedding, the Hanson clan met at the home of my brother, Jeff, for an early Christmas celebration . Jeff and his wife, Marsha, head up an amazing ministry called Lampost. They live in a converted funeral home with a coffee shop and theatre space on the first floor, and apartments for Jeff's family and the performing troupe upstairs, and several levels of basement for lots of other purposes. It is an amazing facility, and made a great place for a lot of people to meet!

When we first arrived, we were treated to the troupe's Christmas musical/dinner theater: it was sort of a command performance with our family as the only audience. Jeff and Marsha write the plays they perform there, and Jeff composes the scores. It was a real treat!
