Arizona

We headed south to warmer weather for Christmas this year.  We were so excited to be in Arizona because we hadn't been (as a whole family) for 1 1/2 years.  Our trip was cut short so we could go to Utah for my Grandpa's funeral, but we still had a fun time!

Grandma has the best dress-ups, Ashlee REALLY loved this umbrella.

 This little snowman dances and lights up and sings "Frosty the Snowman" and Molly was unsure of it.

Caitlin helped make breakfast Sunday morning, but didn't feel well enough to eat it.  Chris had to rush her out of sacrament meeting at church to throw up in the garbage can.  This silly girl gets sick and throws up EVERY time we go to Arizona.  At least it was on the 23rd this time instead of Christmas Eve like last time.

The girls helped put together neighbor gifts and walk around to hand them out.

Ashlee helped Annie make Fudge.....
 ......whoops, and ended up with most of the chocolate chips in her lap!

More dress-ups.

Even Molly got a new dress-up hat.

All the girls in Grandma and Grandpa's bed.

Caitlin feeling much better and riding Grandpa's bike.

Annie did my hair, I don't usually have enough patience to curl it.

 Playing games.

My Mom has lots of cacti in her Arizona room (i room with better climate to grow plants in) and Ashlee thought one of them looked so soft.
So she run her hand down it, and it wasn't soft!!
My mom used Elmer's glue to pull the spines out.  (we let the glue dry and peeled it off).  That got most of them and then we used duck tape to get the rest.

Molly had lots of room to move around.

We checked out one of the new parks, and Molly rode down a slide for the first time!

We fed the ducks and tried to not feed the geese.  We had to stand on the bridge because the geese were so persistent if we were on the ground.

We sure do love going to Arizona (although I'm not sure the girls like the LONG drive).
