Christmas in Arizona!

On Thursday the 22nd we flew out to Arizona to spend Christmas with Billy's fam!  We got in late Thursday night so we just had some late night tacos and ice cream (hehe) and chatted then hit the hay.

Friday we spent the day playing with little Sierra and Whitney (and Karen was watching a boy from the family she works for, Ty...he was a super cutie as well)!  We went to the park and played around the house.  It was really funny because at the park Sierra wanted to play Rapunzel and I was "Mother" so she kept yelling from across the park "Mother, come help me!" and other people were there and they probably thought I made my daughter call me mother.  Hahaha

Billy and Whitney had such a special connection over the whole trip, it was so so so so so so cute!  Jenny told us one night she got up in the middle of the night and kept saying "uh wuh Bilwy, uh wuh Bilwy"  (aka probably I want Billy).  So precious!!  Then another time on Sunday we got to church the same time as Jenny and Jason and the girls but came in different doors and Jenny saw us and said "Oh look!  Its Auntie Caitlin and Uncle Billy!" and then Whitney sqiggled her way out of Jenny's arms and ran over to Billy and put her arms up and he picked her up and she gave him such a big hug!  It was the cutest thing I've ever seen and I'm pretty sure Billy got a little emotional :)  Here's a picture of Whitney trying to take Billy's temperature haha

Saturday on Christmas Eve I can't really remember what we did all day but later in the day all the grown up kids went to go see Mission Impossible which was so fun!  Then at night we all went over to the Olson's house for the Christmas Eve tradition of dinner and a white elephant gift exchange party!  It was super fun!  Me and Billy had also bought a puzzle earlier in the day and so when we got home we worked on that for a few hours!

Then apparently we fell asleep on the couch :)

And Sierra put out cookies and milk for Santa!

Bruce is a very talented photographer.  He took a few pictures of us on Monday before we left and it was really fun and really nice of him.  He is so talented!

Christmas morning was so fun!  Sierra got to see her new bike from Santa and she was so excited!  And Whitney got to see all her princess dolls!  It was so cute and fun.  Then we went to church and that was really great.  After church we all opened presents and played with all our new toys :)  Jon and Kara were over too and Scarlett was so cute with all her toys!  Scarlett is such a funny cute little grunter.  We have the cutest nieces!

Christmas evening we all worked hard on the puzzle and finally got it finished!  It was super hard to do!  All the pieces looked exactly the same but we all worked together and got it finished!

Woo!

Bruce checking the underside of the puzzle to make sure all the pieces matched up correctly :)

Such an accomplishment getting it finished!

Unfortunately we had to leave the next day to come back to Utah because Billy had to work :(  So our Christmas trip was really short but really fun!

Bruce did a photo shoot of us on Monday and took some really awesome photos!  Most of you have probably seen that one of me and Billy on Facebook and he took a lot more cute ones and I'm so excited about them!  Thanks Bruce!
