Merry Christmas!


These kids (+ Zoe) are ready to decorate the tree!


Enjoying our annual golf cart rides with Great Grandpa McInturf!


Great Grandma's Christmas village, and you can see the training running in the back too!


All 15 of the great grandkids


Ready for Christmas Eve service


The men prepping the oyster stew


Oyster stew, followed by Swedish meatballs, and lots of other deliciousness, with my handsome little man.


This cookie tray is brought to you by Grandma and her 7 little helpers - good job kids!


It doesn't matter if it's already Christmas Eve, it is time to put up some Christmas lights! (The house had just been painted that day, so we couldn't really put them up any sooner.)


A precious letter to Santa, from Tommy.










































Our tree was in the middle of the living room this year. We enjoyed the advent calendar readings around the tree each night - so pretty.


Purple slippers make Macy happy.


Allie is ready to start taking tennis.


Tommy loves his wristbands. I think you get stronger just by wearing them.


Jack and Daddy received a very generous gift from Tommy - Guitar Hero for the Wii.


Allie made this scarf for me!


Ready for fun at Grandma and Grandpa's


The Green Machine was a big surprise!


Parachute fun.


It was a very blessed Christmas. How did it come and go so quickly?

Happy Birthday Steve!!!


I got to spend the whole day with the birthday boy (he had the day off of work)!!! If this is what my man looks like at 40, I am one lucky woman!!! We had a fun and relaxing day, followed by an evening out with great friends. We discovered the band Diego's Umbrella that night at the Crescent Ballroom - so much fun!


Here he is with 4 of his 5 biggest fans. They were excited to have pizzookie in honor of his birthday.


We celebrated with the whole family at the LOVE park. It has the perfect hill for ice-blocking - the Arizonan's version of snow-sledding.


The 40-year-old himself with his picnic spread. Both are lookin' good!


All the kiddos on the LOVE statue. I love those kids!


The perfect evening for some apple crisp. Happy Birthday, Honey!
