Christmas in Phoenix
Arriving in Phoenix from Iowa was wonderful! We ditched our coats and headed outside to enjoy the sunshine and green grass.

It was too cold to swim in Andrew and Briggs' pool, but not too cold to...

...run the remote control boat!

The next day, we hit the Phoenix zoo to see the animals.

Natalie enjoyed pushing the stroller more than riding in it.

Briggs, Grandpa, and Madison by the stingrays. Madison didn't care to touch them.

Briggs and Madison made some delicious sugar cookies to leave for Santa on Christmas Eve.

Leaving Santa's snack by the fireplace before bed.

And, low and behold, the ol' jolly fellow delivered! Here are the girls checking out what Santa left.

Opening presents from Andrew and Briggs.

Yay!

Yay!

A little football in the afternoon.

And a little rest, too.

These are expert loungers!

The next day, we went to the Children's Museum. It was awesome!

The kids loved all the activities. So did the adults.

Catching the scarves.

Shopping at the grocery store.

Cooking at the pizzaria.

Thank you Andrew and Briggs for a wonderful time!
