This year for Christmas we headed south to Tucson, Arizona! Jackie's husband Brian just joined a practice there in July and they had a new baby, Brady, in September. It was so nice see where they have been living and get to meet the newest member of the family.
Jackie's decorations were very cute. Complete with her collection of Santa doctors!
I was so happy to get out of rainy Henderson and to 70 degree temperatures in Tucson! I still have the boys bundled out of habit. We went to an outdoor mall area so the kids could listen to a story-teller. We even enjoyed a drink at a wine bar outside while the kids played.....that is my kind-of Christmas!
 |
| The story-teller asked if the kids could "wink." |
 |
| Blake thought he was so big sitting on a pillow like the other kids. |
 |
| The highlight of the trip for me was meeting my nephew Brady......finally!!! |
