Our house in December

Well I better post about December before it's come and gone! We have had a wonderful, magical month. We have had fun putting up the tree and decorations, baking and doing Secret Santa gifts for others. We love reading a different Christmas book every night, and watching the classic Christmas movies on TV.

Christmas wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Temple lights. We went on a Monday night and WOW....it was busy! We went with some friends and drank hot chocolate afterwards. Here we are on the grass by the church having our refreshment.

We got some free tickets to the PHX Children's Museum...and it was awesome!!! We had a great time exploring for a few hours. We only spent a minute in the painting room but the kids love it there....So messy though

They girls love the cooking and grocery store rooms. And they have a 3 and under room for the boys...which they loved too!

If you watch PBS kids with your little ones in the morning, they have a commercial that says,"There is even a flying bathtub!"

Well...here they are in the flying bathtub...FUN!

Audree wanted to Cozy up by the stove and watch our Gingerbread cookies bake....I had to take a pic

Here is my little sweeties before church in our Christmas best....awww.....aren't they cute!

Notice anything different on the girls? These new haircuts are truly SCRUMPTIOUS! So easy to do and they look adorable!

We just returned from a whirlwind Sedona trip. Our friends gave us their time share for a Christmas present and we had a lovely 3 days there.....Except for the rain...boo! We made the best of it.
The girls LOVED swimming in the hotel pool(which was heated) and we also took all the kids to Harkins to see "Yogi Bear" It was cute and the boys did pretty well

You wonder how we keep our little climber Grant in his bed? We safety pinned this Pack and Play shut...sweet...and a fun fort as well

One of our favorite highlights of the trip was visiting the Deer Farm in Flagstaff....We only stayed a while because of the rain and Clark was well Clark.....he was crying allot. So we left but we had a great time there. Driving through the Oak Creek Canyon is breathtaking!!! I want to stay there next time

I loved this Miniature Donkey...look at his face.

 Little face...he is making this face all the time these days

We toured this cool Church that was built into a mountain...with amazing views

We ate dinner at the fancy Cowboy Club...which was overwhelming with all the kids...but we made it. I had the best Chicken Green Chile Mac N Cheese....yum

The rain was coming down but we went to the festival of lights with our umbrellas in hand.

Back to the hotel for family Movie night...and Audree's favorite part the fire. She was obsessed with turning it on and cozing up to the fire....cute girl

Farewell Sedona....and HELLO Christmas in Thatcher
