The Bounce House!

Kristin and John actually own a bounce house. What fun! Will was tentative and wanted Justin there, but I think he'll be really into it when he's a little older. He had fun being bounced!

The Circus

We went to an Italian circus that was in town. It was kinda cute...but it didn't get wildly good reviews from any of us. I did capture a few decent photos, though!
John and Ava, Justin and Will

Us.

Yup, dancing dogs.

Checking out the circus ring.

Germ World

We went to one of the MANY malls in the Phoenix area sometime during the week after Christmas and played in the kids play area, which Kristin calls "Germ World." The kids really did enjoy it, but I felt pretty dirty afterward!

Mommy and Will at the Train Park

While the guys went golfing, the girls and kids went to a great train park. There was a miniature train, a carousel, and a fun playground. Will loved it!

My Christmas Boys!

Some of our best Christmas Day pics are in the posts below. I found this one on another random perusing and had to share it. Will doesn't look grumpy here, and he does in lots of the other photos!

Christmas Day in AZ!

We had another wonderful trip to Arizona! This was our first time going to AZ in December. It was cooler, but to us northerners, it felt balmy! It will take me a while to fully document our trip, but we'll see how much I can get done tonight. I'm not feeling well, but at least blogging doesn't take too much exertion!

Will didn't find his smile for a few hours on Christmas Day. Must've been jet lag!
Mr. and Mrs. Happy and Mr. Grump!
We were outside a lot, but the Arizonans stayed inside. Too cold for their thin skin! Mid-sixties felt great to us! :-)

I'm not hiding the baby bump on purpose...there's only one comfortable way to hold Will right now!

More Christmas in AZ...

You gotta love hanging in the "Spool" (the spa/pool). I couldn't go in...darn pregnancy rules! The spool is at Sue and Rick's beautiful home!
Will LOVED it, just as he did the first time he went to AZ at 2.5 months old!
Ava is 4 months older than Will and was a good mentor for him...here she's showing him her horse.
He got the hang of it quickly!Posted by Picasa

Chillin' on Christmas...

Kerrie and Will read Frosty the Snowman together.
Justin, Will, and I just couldn't get enough time in the sun! And THERE'S the baby bump! :-)

Will was intrigued by the "Fur Real Friend" kitty. Great Grandpa too. :-)

Vitamin D is good for everyone! Gotta love the sunshine!

Will's Clubhouse!

Will got a cool tent from Kristin/John/Julia/Ava for Christmas!
Wow, big box!
He didn't want to be alone in it at first...
Ava and Julia joined Will. He was intrigued with Ava's new necklace. So was she!
Really, could they be ANY cuter?!

Kisses!


Wonderment and awe...


The kids table!


The adults table! We had a wonderful Italian feast!

When everyone was opening gifts, the lights on the tree suddenly went on and off, on and off. Will had discovered the switch behind the tree. Funny guy!

Julia is a cutie.
Ava loves the Fur Real Friend too!

Hot tubbin'!
