Christmas

We Christmased in Tucson this year.  The week before Christmas John and I were pretty sick, but luckily we were nearly over it by Christmas Day.  We had fun opening presents and being together.  William got legos: Star Wars and Ninjago.  Ashley got a little people pirate ship and Maren got her own doll in a stroller and some plush balls to throw around.  We had lots of treats thanks to our neighbors and good food to eat.  We went for a walk on Christmas Day down by the "river" and it was cold due to the wind.

Checking out Toys R Us

John took Ashley and William out to buy gifts for each other then they got an eegee.

It's been a fun Christmas vacation.  William still has one week before school starts again--oh boy.  John and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary on Friday with a trip to the Mesa Temple and lunch at Olive Garden.  It's been a great year, full of lots of blessings.
