A warm and sunny Christmas!

This Christmas, we were blessed to be able to go to Arizona to be with my family. It was so great to finally see my parents and to spend some time together. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Christmas Eve and Christmas day it was sunny and 70. We spent most of the day outside sitting in the sun in tank tops! The view out there never gets old. I have to be honest. It was a little weird being in Arizona for Christmas. There were very few houses with lights and except for the few Christmas trees you can see through the windows of the homes from the road, no one had any decorations outside. Except my mom!! It didn't really feel like Christmas but it was still amazing. We had a great Christmas with the family. Christmas morning, Brent and I got up and made monkey bread for breakfast. It was our first go at it and it turned out pretty good! Mom and dad got me a new camera for Christmas! I was so excited I couldn't stop taking pictures! I took over 300 on Christmas day and a total of 850 over 5 days!! Here are a few from Christmas day.







Grandma got some slippers in her stocking. Barkley decided he needed to sit with her!


Mom and dad went to the Buddy Holly museum in Lubbock TX and got Amy and I these glasses. We wore them most of the morning!



Brent and I got mom and dad a new duck for the pool!



Gifts from Amy & Adam



This is my favorite gift of all! The tie we gave Adam! We fully expect it to make an appearance at a basketball game!



Us and gram with her new coffee mug. It has pictures on it of her family. She told us that she won't use it when she gets home but will display it somewhere in her house!



All dad wanted was a Jamaal Charles jersey. Can you guess why??



Barkley wanted to try on the new glasses!



Brent and dad got new Chiefs apparel! I'm pretty sure this helped them get to the playoffs!!



Grandma got a new digital camera for Christmas. Until now, she has been using film! She cried when she opened it! She is still getting used to the fact that she doesn't have to look through the view finder but can look at the screen!



The family. We had a wonderful Christmas. We are all wearing or holding something we got for Christmas!



Adam loved the tie so much that he had to have his picture with us!



T.J and Kris hanging out in the pool!



Mom found a cat santa hat and put it on her roadrunner in the front yard!



And one on the cactus!



The amazing sunset on Christmas day
