Christmas with Marcia and Christmas morning 2017

We celebrated with Marcia Saturday night (23rd). She fixed a really nice meal for lunch. We then opened gifts.  We then went on a limo ride around DM that night for 2 hrs. I thought that was a lot of fun. There were several neighborhoods that really go all out for decorations!  We then went back to a hotel, had appetizers, kids swam and hung out at the hotel room. 

 

 

 

 

Christmas morning the girls got up around 7:30.  Came down opened gifts, Wes made a really nice breakfast for us.  Later in the afternoon we went and saw Pitch Perfect 3.  Had a fun relaxing Christmas day/night.

Thanksgiving in AZ

The 4 of us flew to AZ on Wednesday, 22nd and flew home today, 27th.  We stayed with my cousin Jennifer and TJ and boys.  We had a great time. Wednesday night we went to the Phoenix zoo lights. It is comparable to jolly holiday lights but much warmer and you walk around outside the zoo. Thanksgiving we headed to Amy (my cousin as well) she put on a great spread!!  Friday we hiked camelback mountain with Stephanie (my cousin) her  husband Brad and daughter Morgan.  We also met up with another cousin Alison. Saturday Wes and girls along with TJ and Matt went to ASU/U of A football game. Sunday we meet up with the Haney's, Steve, Carolyn and Miles to did the Dolly canyon boat tour. It was beautiful ride!!  This was the girls 1st time in AZ  they had a blast!!
