ARIZONA
For Thanksgiving we headed to Arizona to spend time with my parents and a couple of my sibling's families at their time-share house. We had a great time and Maggie and Chloe loved playing with all their cousins. My parents got us tickets to the Suns game and babysat for us, it was wonderful, we don't get to go on dates very often. The girls traveled fairly well and it was fun trip for us
It is so nice when this happens, I wish this lasted for the entire drive.
Our cute driver
The new bridge at the Hoover Dam...it was so huge.
The Hoover Dam
I think it's crazy how it shows the past water levels with the bleached out rock.
We went to eat at a place called 'The Miner's Camp'. They brought out all you can eat beans, ham, rolls, potatoes and their delicious Ribs.
Chloe LOVED the Ribs
We went to see the Christmas lights at the Mesa Temple

DECORATING OUR TREE
Maggie and Chloe were awesome helpers.
GINGERBREAD HOUSES AT G & G BETTS
She did a great job of decorating her house.
She did a great job of eating all her candy :).
Getting a little help from Grandpa.
SOME 'JUST BECAUSE' PICTURES
She got a little stuck. When Dave first found her, both feet were in the pot.
Our very own 'Geordi'.
Maggie loves watching 'The Colbert Report' with Dave....it's her favourite show, weird, I know.
THE PROVO TABERNACLE FIRE
I was heart-broken on Friday morning when I saw the images on-line of the Tabernacle on fire. I love this building and I think it is so sad that it has been destroyed. Dave and I took the girls to see it Friday afternoon. It was hard not to get emotional as I thought of all the wonderful meetings and concerts that have been held in that building and also all the hard work of the pioneers that built it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM OUR FAMILY TO YOURS
We are so blessed with wonderful friends and family and we hope that you all have an amazing Holiday Season.
LOVE, MAGGIE, LAURA, DAVE AND CHLOE
I love your family picture Your girls are getting soo Big! On day hopefully we'll get to go on a trip to the Arizona house.
ReplyDeleteThis is Soeur Jameson in Burundi. I have no way to write to you at an email address, but found your blog. I wrote to your parents today. They will be coming to live in our apartment here in Burundi when we leave. We're so grateful to have them. This is a wonderful place. It was fun to see the Arizona trip too since we're from Tempe. Small, small world. Thanks for making contact. I'll be talking to your parents a bunch before April.
ReplyDeleteThat is just so sad (about the Tabernacle).
ReplyDeleteI thought your fam was in Canada? Looks like ya'll have stayed busy. Hope you're feeling better, too (saw your status on FB). Being sick this time of year is no fun!
