We celebrated Christmas with our sons, & their families on Tuesday Dec.29, 2009. We had a great time together. Cal got a lot of dinosaur's from Uncle Josh and Aunt Theresa...Aidan more cars, "his favorite", and Asa really enjoyed his wooden teething rattle. Joshua had to go into work and the rest of us spent the afternoon together. Babies napped, Nole played with his new bluetooth headset, Cal even had a chance to play outside in the hobbit house. (I am storing things in it over the winter so there wasn't much room to move and so it was short-lived) Cal ventured around the yard....no hills to slide down, and soon he came in.
Thursday Dec. 31, 09 Jerry and I hit the highway in the dark at 6 am. We made our way to Milwaukee for the airport. We spent 6 days in Arizona with friends Heather and John. They had a beautiful meal for New years eve set and then we had days of "fun in the sun". We rode horses in the desert, went to the Packers/Cardinal game. I was treated to Hard Rock Cafe for my birthday dinner and then we hit Alice Cooperstown for a drink. Shopped Scottsdale and Old Town Scottsdale. I loved the ice cream chocolate soda at the Sugar Bowl....a must stop if you are visiting that shopping district....even if it is not your birthday :)
We are home now for two days and the snow and cold are still enchanting us, along with the Christmas tree! The years come and go so fast...We want to make this one last. We want to be with you...."let's make the time for the ones we love in 2010".
