New York Trip!


 This year Dan and me were able to go to New York again for five days! We did a lot walking around and eat a lot good food!  We also went to see STOMP.  I really enjoyed it and Dan liked it but he wishes it had more of a story line.  One of the mornings we had a nice relaxing walk around Central Park.   



 While we were there we both got to spend time with our mothers.  Dan's mother lives there, so got to see her almost every night and most of the last day we were there.  The first night I got a call from my mom that she was stuck in New Jersey for the night, so she came to New York to have dinner with us.  It was nice to be able to spend the first night of our trip with both of our moms!  We are grateful for both of you and everything you guys do for us.  Thanks for being our mothers!


 Outside our hotel widow you could see the crane that collapsed in the storm Sandy.  We were there three weeks after the storm. We didn't see a lot of damage where we were.  The only damage that we saw was this crane and a couple of down tree's by the airport.

 Just a really cool famous building I had never heard about until this trip!
 
 When we were walking around in Time Square we walked right by Snoop Dog.  
He was surrounded by a crowed of people. 


It was nice having sometime way from the kids but I missed them and I'm glad to be home with them.  Thank you Gail for watching them for us.

Christmas Party

This year our ward did a breakfast with Santa!  This second Santa came out Olivia ran up to him and gave him a big hug. She also put her arms up so he would pick her up. He was really nice and held her for a moment.  It made her day and it was one of the cutest things you ever saw. 


 There was another special visitor!  Elf also showed up and read a story to the kids. Then he gave them a Arizona snowball fight.  It was a bunch of crumpled up paper filled with a peppermint candy in side to weigh it down.  The kids had a lot of fun!

Catch Up

Cutest Picture Ever!

 Train Festival!
We went to the train park with Lucia and her kids. They just happened to be doing a Train Festival that day.  They had a lot of fun things for the kids, like bounce houses, face painting, and a bunch of train model.


Halloween!
 

Keanan's school does a Fright Festival every Halloween.  The kids had a lot of fun at it. Keanan got to go through his first haunted house.  He went through with Dan while Olivia and me played carnival games.
