Merry Christmas!

Visiting the zoo lights with our friends Dan, Lauren and Mason

The balls from the hundred yen store (that would be the Japanese version of the dollar store...not kidding, guess who these were from!) were the highlight of the night, well that is...

until the Coup arrived!!! Now if we could just figure out how to go forward!!

Christmas Morning!!

I am SO glad he likes his Tonka Truck AND his book!

Sissy was very excited too!!

The highlight of the day might have been daddy's chipping net...notice the 70 degree weather...very nice!

Billy carving the turkey, while...

Grandpa worked on his chipping

I have no make up, and we were still in our PJs by dinner time but the sunset was beautiful!!

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas! It all started with my family attending church on Christmas Eve, we figured if we could make it through that it would be smooth sailing. Reilly was awesome...funny actually, he proceeded to dance to every hymn that we sang! The girls behind us in church were thoroughly entertained! Then we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Teddy's for a light dinner and present opening. Needless to say Reilly was absolutely spoiled by his Gram, Gramp, aunt and uncle. The highlight of the night for him was the Cozy Coup (see pictures). I am not sure who was more excited, Gram or Reilly. He was a champ and managed to keep smiling until 10 when daddy and I were exhausted! The next morning you know who came, he brought a basketball hoop and a Tonka Truck...we were VERY excited. Almost nearly as exciting was the fact that Billy and I were hosting our first holiday. Everything turned out great...with a little help from Martha Stuart our brined turkey turned out delish (a little salty though).

I get SO sad when the holidays are over, it is such a nice laid back week for all of us. We are looking forward to Grandma and Grandpa Seymour to get here tomorrow for a week...should be another lazy week with family! Billy and I are planning to spend New Years at the Putz's, pregnant or not (Kelsey, not me!!) we would not miss it! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!!

Thanksgiving in the Lou

Reilly and Braden Dancing...so funny!

What could possibly be better than hanging out in your PJs all week!!!!

We were able to take a nice, almost full week, vacation to St. Louis for Thanksgiving. We were all looking forward to a great week with family, time to relax and a week away from work! We had a WONDERFUL time! There was tons of relaxing, eating and laughing...isnt that what a vacation should be! Reilly was great, he was awesome on all the flights and once he got used to hanging with is Grandma Suzie Q and Grandpa Bill he was good to go. He loves his cousins!! They were great with him...it was really neat to watch since he does not have any cousins here in Tucson. We loved the cold weather...it has been about 80 here this week...I know, I know but it does get old after awhile, I promise!
