December 2011/January 2012

Holidays!!  Jason and I were fortunate enough to be able to go to both Utah and Arizona over the break.  We spent all our time with family and friends and had an absolutely wonderful time.  We met our new niece, Adelle, and were able to hang out with Gabe, Avah, Noah and Ember.  Those kids are a blast.

Noah really liked the game where you throw pillows at each other and fall down.  Jason played with him doing that for quite a while.  Luckily, Jason was able to convince them to take a rest after a while.


And here's adorable Ember...


And the quilt I made for Adelle that I was finally able to give Avah.


After everyone had gotten over the flu bug in Centerville, we were able to head up there and be with Jason's family.  Christmas day was wonderful.  I think Christmas should always be on Sunday.  It just feels more special somehow.


While in Centerville we spent lots of time with Jason's family mostly at his parent's house, but were also able to go to Tom and Heidi's.  It was fun to see Lily in her own element.  We also enjoyed visiting Grandpa and Grandma Crandall as well as a going for a hike with Dex, Becky, Britt, and Ash.  I'm so glad the weather allowed for that!

After Utah, we flew to Arizona and were able to do lots of things with my family there.
An outing at the park was just about perfect in that Arizona winter weather.  Late afternoon, sunny, frisbees, snacks, and family.  Great combo.


Dad had two successful takeoffs and landings of his remote controlled airplane.  That is a pretty big deal actually.  He's a stud.


Cole and I played with the climbing bears Jason gave Jarom for Christmas.  He's pretty good competition!


Another must for when we are in Arizona, is going to In 'N Out.  We don't care what all our Utah family says, we think it is delicious!  So much so, we went twice.  

We were also fortunate enough to be able to go to the temple with mama and Jessica followed by a delicious lunch at the Landmark.  


We did many other things, including lots of playing with new toys (Zelda, ahem), watching People's Court, and exchanging homemade gifts.

We loved our trip, we love family, and we look forward to future visits.
