I guess I better catch up. Not much to report on Christmas Day. Everyone in the Salt Lake Valley was snowed in, due to a yucky blizzard. It didn't bother us none, because we weren't planning on going anywhere anyway. We slept in until 7 am this year since we didn't have to open our presents at lighting speed and get over to my parents house by 9:00. That was a nice change. Everyone got what they wanted for Christmas, so the day was spent actually playing with toys. We relaxed, made Christmas dinner and packed for our trip home to Arizona the next day.
Our two week vacation in AZ consisted all of the following:
-Driving 14 hours (9 of those hours on icy roads)
-Opening presents
-Handing out presents
-Attending two Christmas parties
-Relaxing
-Thawing out in the 60+ degree days
-Guitar Hero
-A marshmallow gun war (guns provided by Nathan)
-Mexican Food
-Cousins
-A day trip to Miami/Globe, AZ to see Nathan's grandmother (and more Mexican food)
-Taking a ride on The Metro, Phoenix's brand new Light Rail, which opened while we were there.

It was really fun seeing you guys. You'll have to come back again soon. I miss my sister.....and nieces and nephews...and brother in law.
We'll be back in the Spring! Three months between visits will seem way shorter than the first 10 months without us!
