Let us remember back, oh so long ago...

Hey, remember when the Christmas holiday was upon us? I can barely remember either, so I better document it now before I completely forget!

It all started off with my happy little birthday. I turned 30 this year, and it really could not have been less traumatic. Ask me how I feel at 35...the story might be different. We got to celebrate with our wonderful friends and Keith also took me out to dinner at Madelines. So delicious. He surprised me with an upcoming 3 day trip to San Fransisco while we would be in Arizona for 2 weeks. He is by far the greatest surpriser. I give him 5 gold stars.

The day after my birthday we jumped on the plane to Arizona. That night we spent the evening with my family in Mesa. We had our traditional FHE with Christmas chimes. This event brightens my day. As you can see, we take the chimes very serious in this family!

CHRISTMAS MORNING at GRAMMY and GRANDPA'S!!

Brynlee lasted about 10 minutes before she was whining for a bottle and to be put back in bed.

Keith doesn't ask for much when it comes to birthdays or holidays, and he is by far the hardest person to shop for. So, when he asked for a Larry Fitzgerald football jersey for Christmas, and although I detest jerseys, I had to get it for him. However, I find myself to be very easy to shop for. All I really asked for was clothes....well, maybe next year I should ask for the money to buy my own clothes cause this is what happens when Keith goes shopping for me...

He's fired!

Brynlee finally woke up after we had all opened our presents, so while she watched something on TV, I opened the rest of her presents for her.

Hannah and one of her very best friends, Grandpa.

The rest of the day was so nice and relaxing. The girls loved being with Grammy and Grandpa and we loved the weather.

Next stop: SAN FRANCISCO!!
