Christmas in Arizona

Our Beautiful Christmas Tree! Everytime we put the tree up, I have to sing "how I love your branches". 

Pa & Coco came to celebrate Christmas with us early since we were going to California. I made my first pot of Posole and me and the kids made Biscochito cookies. We exchanged gifts and Santa came early since we weren't going to be here on Christmas day. The kids got everything they wanted and MORE!

Polar Express

Polar Express day at Jake's school. They got to wear their jammy's and make a train for the polar express parade. After the parade they got a ticket to watch the movie. What a fun day!

We all met at school first thing in the morning...so we said the pledge 

Then, we got to put on the trains

The rest of the school lined up along the hallways and the kindergartners had a parade to show off their homemade trains

Happy Turkey Day

Playing air hockey with Bob

We had a lot to be thankful for this year! Jake was so excited to have both of his grandparents here for Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful visit with Nana & Grandpa Bob and Coco & Pa. Nana and I made the turkey and all the fixings. It was a delicious meal, but the company was the best part. It was a warm 80 degrees here on  Thanksgiving...we wore tank tops and shorts. We also had a surprise visit from Clara and her family. They were driving back to Cali from Texas. I can't believe I didn't get a picture of them.

Bob's Birthday

Nana & Grandpa Bob came to spend Thanksgiving with us. The day before was Bob's birthday. We all went out for a Birthday dinner or party as Sophie called it. Any excuse to go to San Tan Flat. We had fun! Then we came home surprised Bob with some yummy cupcakes.
