Well, yes, it is February. More than halfway through. But here are a few pictures of our first Christmas in Arizona. To tell the truth is was a little hard adjusting to Christmas here. I love Christmas, but nothing really felt like Christmas. The weather was still very warm. I know I will get used to it after time. It didn't help that we were moving. We moved December 13th, so I didn't have any Christmas decorations up until the 20th. It did help when we had family come into town. Jonathan's parents came the 22nd. My youngest sister came Christmas eve and her fiancee' visited a few days during the break too. We had a blast, but the break went by too quickly.

You have such cute kiddos. And they look so much alike. It looks like you all had a fun Christmas...it really does help to have family there to really get the Christmasy feeling.
What an adorable family you have. I'm glad you had a good Christmas, even if it was hard to feel like Christmas. I love the picture of Leighton reading the sports section. :) Keep smiling!
P.S. I didn't know Blair was engaged...I could have guessed, but didn't actually know.
Great family picture! I love the ones of the kids as well. They are sure growing up so fast!. I had to laugh pretty hard at the picture of the Turkey with "eyes." I can picture Jonathan doing that!
it's about time!!!! :)

Cute photos!

Hi Holly....you might want to check the Pied Piper blog!
Savannah is sure growing up fast, her hair is getting long and she is so beautiful! Leighton is so adorable, it hasn't been that long since we have seen you but they have grown so much! Sorry we missed Leighton's bday party. Hope we can get together soon. Take care and keep in touch! Thanks again for being a wonderful friend!
Oh my goodness! Savannah looks exactly like you. She has the same eyes, face shape, and little ears (little compared to my jumbo-sized ones.) I'm excited to have a boy, but right now I'm jealous that you have a girl.
