So before we turn the corner into February, I thought I should post about our fun-filled Christmas and New Year's Celebrations. We had a great time this Christmas with 7 out of 8 of my brothers and sisters visiting during some or all of the two weeks before and after the holidays. It was a fun filled couple of weeks that now seems like a blur now that it is over!!
We ate (feeding 26 people morning, noon, and night is quite the feat), played, shopped, went to movies, the zoo, watched football, played football, played cards, and had lots of catch up time.
The cousins got along great. It was a minor christmas miracle that there was no fighting over toys, no parents needing to referee, just fast and frenzied playing every single day (I am talking about the adults here!!) Ha ha!! After Christmas we headed north to Williams, AZ to take the polar express to the "north pole". My mom, my sister Julie's family, and my brother Dave and his family came with us. Bailey loved it, we wore our pj's, sang carols, met Santa, read the polar express book, and had a great night. The next day we bundled up and went sledding and had a great lunch at Oreganos in Flagstaff. It was a fun little weekend and reminded me of how much I enjoy living in Tucson. We can be enjoying 70 degree days and drive a few hours and be sledding in a snowstorm. It was a great Christmas and the best part was having everyone there and being together!!
