Christmas Festivities all week long!

The Becker family invited us over for a party with Santa as the surprise guest.

If you look close you can see Cali with her arms spread wide for a Santa sized hug.

On the 23rd we headed to Flagstaff to ride the Polar Express. The night before that we stayed at Aunt Pams house and went with the White family to see the Christmas Carole at Hale Theatre. So much fun!

We stayed at the Little America Hotel.

My cousin Krystin and her family joined us.

4 adults, 8 kids, it got a little crazy.

Outside waiting for the train. Brrr so cold outside.

Here comes Santa with a bell for each child.

Christmas Eve. Making cookies for Santa with Santa's little helper.

These cookies are the b.e.s.t ever. They are chocolate cookies with a rolo baked in the center. I can attribute these 5 extra holiday pounds to these cookies alone.

That night Todd put Cali to bed and when I came up to check on them, he was fast asleep too.

Wahooo, 70 degree Christmas weather. That's right kids get your rollerblades out and you can use them TODAY not wait until April.

Melissa & Doug are my favorite new toys for Cali.

What is Christmas without nerf guns, and Dad fighting the kids for their nerf guns might I add!

We had a great holiday. I was missing family like crazy, so we may head to the cold next year.
