Sunday in Arizona

Sunday in Arizona
Nikki and the piano guys

Warm Sunday night walk - Sammi & Elise

Loved the flowers

Chloe, Elise, Sammi, Nikki


Palo Verde



Climbing over the fences

Climbing the cement mountains

Fording over the rivers

And of course, sucking on the rocks -
It's not a tongue, but a white rock. (They say it keeps kids healthier)
Sammi and Elise

And where was Audrey? She's a teenager - sound asleep.

We came back and opened up Grandpa's Christmas present:
The Muppet Christmas concert with the Tabernacle Choir

Playing games afterward - Tsuro
 It took one sentence of explanation and all ages can play

We had so much fun playing "One Night Warewolf."

Levi was watching Weird Baby Animals

They made ginger bread houses before I got there.
It's almost gone except the melted Jolly Ranchers.
This is grass, for all you back home who have forgotten.
This is Chloe.

Getting ready for a healthy breakfast of oatmeal

Nikki's was more like no-bake cookies and mine was more like
well, oatmeal. 



We made suckers and got very creative!



Tuesday we saw Star Wars on Imax,
I could write an epistle on it, but will wait to have a good discussion.
I loved it.


Going with Nikki for a walk to the mailbox to mail Danny a letter.

Decorating sugar cookies


We went to the Phoenix Temple with Paul and Lacey
and had a beautiful day on Wednesday.

Poor Levi just can't keep his levi's up, so Elise and I
made suspenders along with Grandpa's engineering (which we needed).


We went to the Mesa temple that night to see the lights.
The only thing missing was the cold.

Paul, Elise, Audrey, Nikki, Chloe








Stopping for Krispy Kreme donuts on the way home.



After doing the regular "Day before Christmas Cleaning,"
Nikki and I made her a church bag. 

Paul & Lacey had friends over for Christmas Eve and the nativity.
I'm afraid "baby Jesus" slept through it all.



This was a much needed vacation. I had forgotten
what Christmas time was like with a lot of children.

The rest of the events are in the next blog because 
it wouldn't ever publish.
