Christmas 2012
I can't believe how quickly this month has flown by.
Before we headed out, Marijo and Katie came over for lunch with their families. I haven't seen Marijo in six years and it was fun to visit with her and finally meet her girls. I am kicking myself that we didn't take a picture. But I love those friendships that just pick up where they left off and are easy and safe.
On the 22nd we drove down to AZ in our new Toyota Sequoia. The ride was quick and painless. The best we've ever had really. I'll be surprised if we top that one. Not one tear, not one whine, not one cry. It went by quickly. We headed to mom and dad's where everyone was having dinner. Matt & Melissa, Dave & Rachelle, Britton & Lane, Nate & Allison, Dave & Karyn, and Lynsey & Matt were all there this year.
We stayed at Nate and Allison's new house and hardly saw the boys all week. They played and played with their cousins and had the best time. When we told Gavin it was time to go one day, his eyes filled up with tears and we gave in. He ended up playing for 8 hours with the big boys.
Christmas Eve was spent at mom and dad's and was the typical kid-fest. Yummy food, a cute nativity, pinata, jammies, and a story by grandma. The kids fell asleep in about two minutes when we got them to their beds.
Santa found us in Arizona and Christmas morning was calm and fun. Gavin's gifts included: Hulk Smash, bay blade, Avengers figures, wiggle car, Sonic video game, and a Ben10 bracelet. McKay got: a wiggle car, Wonder Pets stuffed animals, gum, Avengers figures, and a bay blade. They are pretty good about sharing. Brian
And now that it's all said and done, as much as I love putting up the tree, I love taking it down and cleaning up and starting fresh. These snowy Utah days have kept us hibernating and we've been playing and watching movies and getting things put back together around here.
Oh, and potty training again. Heaven help us all.

Pre-Easter Sunday
Since we won't be at church on Easter, we got Gavin all decked out the week before.
