Merry Late Christmas!!!


Dan's parents and his sister and her family came to Arizona and spent Christmas with us.  It was such a blast to have them here.  It was absolutely beautiful weather.  It was 80 degrees on Christmas Day!  I could get use to this!  On Christmas we woke up and opened presents, then Sadey and Clay (with help from Dallas) used hand puppets to share the story of the birth of Christ from Luke 2.  We had a scrumptious egg casserole made by yours truly :), then headed outside for our first annual chocolate Santa hunt at the playground at our apartment complex.  In the afternoon we went swimming and went for a walk to check out the remote control airplanes at the park behind our apartment.  Before our company left to go home we took them to Amazing Jake's for an afternoon of fun.  Amazing Jake's is like Chuckie Cheese on steroids.
