Arizona Day 2

Our second day in Arizona was another busy one.  We checked out mom's new house and then headed out for some family pictures.  The kids all did remarkable well!  We ended the weekend with a birthday dinner for mom back at Matt's house.  The kids were exhausted by the end of the weekend, but can't wait to see their cousins again!

Arizona Day 1

Over MLK weekend, we headed to Arizona for some cousin time!  The weekend started off with a steamboat ride in the Superstitious Mountains and a stop at a ghost town for a gun fight and train ride.  The day was topped off with some delicious ribs at Waldo's BBQ.

Christmas 2013


I'm a little late with the Christmas post this year.  Santa brought us a new computer and it has taken me awhile to figure it out.  We celebrated this year with our usual traditions.  On Christmas Eve, we decorated cookies for Santa, opened our new Christmas PJ's, and prepared for Santa's arrival.  This year, Santa apparently spent a lot of money at the Lego store.  There were a lot of Lego's under our tree this year for both kids.  We are still working on putting them all together.  American Girl, Under Armour and Rainbow Loom were also well represented this year!
