Last Day in Arizona

Well, we have to pack every last mintue while we are there.  We headed off to the Children's Museum this morning and then James and I spent the afternoon together golfing with the rest of the family.  Lotta spent a lot of time "cooking" in the kitchen.

  

Brennen loved playing with the balls in motion area.

 And Kellen loved bagging everyone's groceries.

 A fun time with my little man on a beautiful course.  And, James hit the green (behind us) from this t-shot!  He is getting to be a really good golfer.

Christmas #2

Santa has delivered his second load of the year!

 

 The kids waiting by their bags--"Hurry up MOM!"

 A photo before the ripping begins...(they did not want to wait another second, so they were very annoyed when I tried to take this picture)!

 Best friend cousins!

 James reading the note that Santa left behind.

 Finally-time to dig in!

 An exhausted Brennen after an early morning and lots of hard work opening gifts!

A Typical Day in Arizona!

Wake up, eat, swim with the cousins...

 Oh yeah--the boys need to enjoy their stogies!

 Take a little movie break in the middle of the day...

 Then back to the pool for a little sunset swim!

Christmas #1

We are leaving for Arizona today to spend Christmas with the Dean side:)  But of course, we have to have our own little Christmas before we go!  Santa has made his first drop of the year!

 

 They are so excited that Santa came and are anxiously awaiting opening their stocking!  But, they were forced into a family photo first:)

 Yes! I got my wish....

 Brennen has a flair for funny photos!

 Happiness is is the ripping of the paper.

 Time for the big one!  James gets what it is right away...

 Now Brennen and Kellen get it-an X-box!

 Time for the package from our Swedes!

 Everyone was very happy with their gifts!

 Kellen loved his Viking shirt so much, he didn't take it off for the next three days!

It was a very fun morning.  Now we are off to Arizona!

It' s Beginning to Look A lot like Christmas!

The tree is up-let the holiday fun begin! It's so good to have your family be your best friends:)

 

Looking forward to Santa's upcoming arrival!
