We had a great trip to AZ for Christmas. I got in on the 23rd and spent the day with my mom eating lunch and getting our nails did and then Jenna, mom and I saw Enchanted which is very super wonderful. The next day I hung out with my dad some and then had dinner with Mary and my mom. On Christmas we picked up Derek from the airport and we had barbeque at dad's, exchanged gifts and watched the Suns game - of course! Then we celebrated at mom's with Mary and Lynda with a traditional meal and more presents. I forgot to bring my camera over to my dad's when we opened presents there and my mom was sickly so I allowed her to opted out from pictures (which is why neither of my parents our pictured here). We also visited with the Kroll's where we played a rousing game of Balderdash.
We drove back to Denver with new bedroom furniture which was quite the ordeal - I was kinda afraid that Derek was plotting my death in his silence - this was all my idea! We left Gilbert at 10:30 am and arrived home in Denver at 5:30 the following morning - please take into account an hour nap, an hour playing around with the "flatbed Ford" in Winslow, AZ, more then an hour looking for food in Las Vegas, NM (we are writing a letter to the mayor because it was only 9:00 and already EVERY place had stopped serving food, but we could get drinks if we wanted to - we aren't really writing a letter) and another hour dining at Denny's at 2 in the morning. The next morning, just as Derek had forgiven me for making him drive all night so I could have a new bed, I locked us out of our apartment in our pajamas. YIKES! Luckily he really loves me.

Mom usually does a good job picking out clothes for us but..... we weren't really feeling these tops but modeled them anyways. My mom's defense was that Inny and Aunt Cherry were with her when she picked them out!
Brother and Sister!
Derek and Lynda
Mary and Trey
Spur and Jenna - Mia is not pictured here but she is still around and very happy to have Jenna and Trey back. She has already begun losing weight.
Jenna says, "He likes it!"
We were so busy with family and helping mom out with the house that we didn't get to see very many people, but of course we HAD to see our favorite AZ friends: Jackie and Ryan
