For Christmas this year Chad's parents rented a cabin for the week in Flagstaff AZ! It was a lot of fun spending time with family and we even had a white Christmas! That was a first for this California girl.
We took family pictures in the front yard. It was quite cold and our kids were freezing. Our poor Arizona kids.
Lydia and William were freezing and therefore uncooperative and poor Easton had been throwing up all morning. It's a miracle we got a half decent photo.
And here is a reality picture for you.
So between photos we were throwing a bowl to the side but hey pictures are only as good as the memories making them right?
Grandma and Grandpa surprised the Grandkids with tickets to the Polar Express! Complete with matching jammies for all. First we all headed to a yummy pizza place on Route 66.
Before we boarded the train we met Mrs. Clause.
And met the homeless guy from the Polar Express movie.
And even though I may or may not have been dying of bronchitis the train was so much fun. They had it match the movie so well with dancing and songs. The whole family was singing and dancing.
We made it to the north pole and Santa came onto the train. And we were lucky enough to be in the front car and Lydia got the first bell of Christmas! She was sooooo excited and still talks about how her bell came right off of Comet.
We all had so much fun and that was just the beginning of the week!
