Next came Christmas...

We had a great Christmas! Arizona was perfect! The snow is beautiful and all but honestly, a white Christmas has nothing on perfect 65 degree Christmas! It felt so good! We spent Christmas with my family down in Mesa. My parents of course did way too much for us but it was so much fun. Crew got into the festivities a little but hopefully next year will make more sense.

Crew and Carson got matching PJ's to wear Christmas Eve
Pulling Crew and Grandma around the front yard in the wagon
Crew going for the wisemen in the Nativity. Smart boy!
One bummer during the trip, other than Matt's impaired functioning, was Crew got sick. He caught a cold while we were in Az and it turned to Croup. It was so sad! He had a couple rough days but then perked up again. But considering not feeling well, he still was a pretty good boy.
So one of my favorite traditions with my family on Christmas Eve is we do luminaries. My dad's parents started the tradition in their neighborhood and my parents have passed it on to ours. Christmas Eve our entire neighborhood lines the sidewalks with luminaries. It is so beautiful! So here we are getting our luminaries ready for Christmas Eve. Of course, later that night we all went for a walk through the neighborhood to enjoy this wonderful Christmas tradiation. It was great!
