I'm Dreaming of an Arizona Christmas

The day after Christmas we headed down to the land of beautifully warm Decembers. These pictures are only a month old, still fresh enough to post. I wanted to collect pictures from our families first. As you will see I got plenty! Considering we live so far away, we are lucky to see our families as often as we do. They are amazing and we loved every minute!

We had family pictures taken with the Bevan family.

These are all 5 of the cousins


Nana and Papa with the kids

The original 5 kids

The whole group

Ruthie and her beautiful Aunt Aly

Finally a girl cousin! We got to see baby Ashley blessed while we were down. It was extra special since we were not able to go to either of the boys blessings. Mindi and David were down from Seattle too. It worked out perfectly.

Stephanie, Nana and Ashley

My dad with Ashley. He actually delivered this little girl. She is Ryan's sister's baby, not mine!

Aly had way too much fun doing Ryan's hair. Sadly, he still hasn't had a hair cut since this picture!

The beautiful nativity at the temple.

We never miss a chance to see the Mesa temple lights. Especially when it is barely sweatshirt wearing cold out!

Ruth and Orren

That's my girl!

The Tutt fam

2 of my sisters

Tate got a good nap most of our temple time.

Ryan loved testing out the Land Rover's skills.

Happily, no incidents to report from this excursion!
