Christmas

I LOVE ARIZONA! I never thought I'd ever say that, but after being in Utah for 6 months, I have learned to appreciate Arizona. It's beautiful weather, the wide roads, the grid system and of course my family. We had a great time being with friends and family for the few days we were there. I got to go swim a few times with my sisters, Ryan got to work on the Tahoe with his brothers and Kate and Clark got to play with their Grandparents and cousins! I didn't take many pictures, and the ones we did take didn't turn out very well. (someone got ahold of my camera and adjusted all the settings without me knowing)


This was Christmas morning. We stayed at Ryan's parents house the whole time, and his sister and kids stayed over Christmas Eve, so the kids could be together Christmas moring. All the kids had to line up smallest to biggest and wait for Grandpa to give the go ahead to go see their presents. The order was Kate, Clark, Emily, Becca and Rachel.
Here's Kate and Clark tearing into their presents from Santa

Clark got a work bench with some new power tools
Kate got a fold up doll house with all the fixings
Clark the "worker guy" with his new tools

This is Ryan's Dad, George. He has to be the hardest person to shop for. Every year we have to rack our brains to find something he likes. This year we lucked out. It just so happens that George LOVES BYU football. So we went down to BYU bookstore and got him this nice long sleeve button up with the 'Y' logo on it. Best of all- he liked it!
In the afternoon we went over to my parents house to do presents. Kate got this doll.

Clark got a dump truck complete with wheelbarrow, construction signs and of course a hard hat.

That's just cute.
