December of 2014

December was so busy - Picture overload below.  Unpacking, school pictures, new beds (bye cribs/toddler beds!), Disney on Ice, celebrating the winter holidays, first plane ride, and new years in Arizona.  We went to Arizona to visit Mike's parents at their new winter home, along with Mike's brothers Tom and Mark and their families, and Kaddy/GiGi.  We had a wonderful time with everyone and Alex and Cate enjoyed spending time with their cousins Gus, Corrine, and Ben.

First airplane flight - mom did a great job pretending it was great fun (wine may have been involved):

Safety Info - very important!

Arizona!  Cousins, cactus, horses, animals, presents, fun - oh my!  Also - it snowed - which was not fun to the Minnesotans who came to visit the warm, but the Arizonians thought it was awesome :-)  Fun New Year's Eve!
