December

Well, December was crazy, as usual! We celebrated Nolan's birthday, Josh's birthday, Christmas and our anniversary.

Nolan's Birthday:

Nolan had about a billion different birthday celebrations. We had one on his actual birthday, we brought treats to preschool, went to McDonald's for lunch with friends, did a train cake at home, opened presents, and got him a new bike. Then, he had a birthday party with friends. We did train games and a chicken BBQ sandwiches potluck where he got more presents. Then, we had a family dinner joint Josh's and his birthday party where he got even more presents!









Josh's Birthday:
My parents babysat for us so we could go to the new Star Wars movie "Rogue One" for his birthday. We had a lot of fun. On his actual birthday, he came home early from work, and we went to the park as a family, and I made him homemade pizza per request. I then made strawberry shortcake for his birthday cake. Nolan got him a Mario balloon and Jellybeans. Bennett got him cookies. :)





Christmas:
Christmas was so much fun. Grandma Melody did gingerbread houses with the boys, her annual tradition. We went to the Sahuarita Light parade, where they do the parade in the dark but all of the floats/cars have christmas lights on them. We went with our friends, the Parkers, Nolan's best friend, William. Erin came to stay with us, and we went on a hike to Madera Canyon. Christmas Eve, we went to dinner at Melody's, where she did a traditional Spanish dinner. Then, Christmas morning, Melody and Erin were here opening presents with the boys. My parents came over later and Josh and Erin made a Julia Child's recipe, their tradition. We went to church and had a wonderful time as well. 




















Anniversary:
We had an awesome anniversary--first, we went to a Christmas show at the Gaslight theatre. Then, a few weeks later, we got to go to Sedona on a no-kids trip! Josh's mom and my parents split the time watching our kids. We had a blast! We went on a hike in the Red rocks, we saw Chapel of the Holy Cross, went to cute little shops, went to lots of cute restaurants, and saw some amazing views.
