It was fun to hang out at Jen's house in Mesa. They have a great pool and beautiful home. We ate pizza, played foosball, swam, and sat in the hot tub before heading back to Grandma and Grandpa's house for some football.
On Sunday, we went to church in Maricopa. On our way home, I made everyone jump out at the beautiful park for some family pictures. The sun was in everyone's eyes but apparently my children, being older, couldn't handle it the least bit so our pictures are pretty hilarious with all of the smiling and closed eyes. Back at Grandpa and Grandma's house, we packed up and sadly said goodbye. We will miss them so much until they come back to Idaho in the late spring!
We dropped Dave off at the airport and headed off to Las Vegas! I had been listening to an audiobook called, "The Tattooist of Ausschwitz" and finished it when we pulled into Vegas at Brandon's house. We ate dinner, played "Cover Your Assets" and went to bed since we needed to leave early in the morning.
What a wonderful Christmas vacation we have had! I love being with my children and family. It really is heaven on earth.
