The girls loved having other adults besides Dad and Mom around. They especially loved Grandma and Grandpa, and would wake up and climb into their bed at obscene hours of the morning. But Chris and I sure loved sleeping in a little longer.
No trip would ever be complete without a tea party.
(my Dad looks amazing! He has lost over 70lbs in the past 6 months)
This is a girl feeling well and having fun Christmas Eve.....
This is a girl feeling sick and throwing up on Christmas Eve.
Caitlin throwing up? I know, shocking.
This is a girl trying to feel better to have fun and participate in our silly Christmas song.
Elves in the song.
The Christmas trees in the song.
Baby dolls in the song.
Our nativity. The pregnant one gets to be Mary!
(which is not me, in case anyone got confused)
Our Christmas Eve ended with Ashlee entertaining us for 30 minutes or so.
She is one crazy and so funny girl.
We asked her who she got her funniness from and she said "Mom." I'm not sure about that, Ash.
Our new pajamas.
Katie and I both arrived in Arizona the evening of the 22nd, and we spent most of our spare time the next 2 days making pajama pants for everyone.
Ashlee LOVED her Jessie doll that Caitlin gave her.
Caitlin liked the Ariel that Ashlee gave her, but kind of wanted a Jessie doll too.
The girls opened their present from us that was a trip to Disneyland.
This sums up their reaction......
They were not excited AT ALL. It was all very anti-climactic.
But now we are in California and going tomorrow and now they are excited.
Who even needs presents when you can just jump on the bubble wrap.
We also made humanitarian kits. The girls were both great helpers
The girls fed the ducks on 2 different occasions
And we played horse-shoes.
The girls team made an incredible comeback and ended up winning!!
We really are good, I just threw them off by only throwing it half-way to the pit the first time.
The boys may, or may not, have been poor losers.
We had a great trip with more documented events for other posts, and many more undocumented events. It is nice to be with family and out of the freezing cold.
We are in California with Katie and Ryan now and heading to Disneyland tomorrow!
