Christmas in Arizona!

On the 23rd, we headed to the airport for our flight to Arizona.
While waiting for the plane to leave, the girls enjoyed goofing around...



We arrived at my parents Sunday evening--we were all delighted to see them and my brother and his family who'd arrived about a week before.
The next morning--Christmas Eve--my dad's family all came over to celebrate Christmas. It was wonderful to see everyone, and the kids enjoyed decorating their gingerbread houses.
Annie, true to form, was quite meticulous and creative

Siri kept saying "I need to eat 1 piece of candy to get a new idea." Guess how many "ideas" she had?
After a fun morning of playing, eating, celebrating together, we rested and got ready for Christmas Eve at my parents church.



Ahh...Candlelight service in AZ means getting to take the candles and "Silent Night" outside
Then, we returned to Grandma and Grandpa's for cookies, Advent candles, and story time...




Christmas morning, we all enjoyed opening stockings, giving presents, and playing with our new toys...






Oh...and, of course, because it was beautiful day, why not check out the pool...
