My mother-in-law arranged for Abby to attend Achievement Days in her ward while we were here, they were holding a luau so we dressed up and had a great time, Abby did a dance with all the other girls and I was amazed at how excited she was and how well she mingled with complete strangers.
And of course we have been playing on the beach (a lake beach). I think I could almost stay here all winter.
Yes, my children are actually swimming in the water in mid-November!
We wanted to let Esther Truth experience the water... she was not a fan.
The children collected dozens of these mini-clam shells
When I first visited Allen's home I thought it was so barren and drab, the brown desert mountains seemed so desolate compared to the Wasatch Mountains. But I have really grown to love the rugged beauty of these desert hills.
One day the kids did crafts with grandma, they loved it.
Paul made a mom & a dad with party hats
Denny made a solar system with four planets which I thought was very clever.
Grandma also has Star Wars and a large variety of light sabers... feel the force.
Esther sure feels it
This is her "Two Month" picture, hence the two apples. I just can't believe how fast they grow.I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We did, I will post about that next.
Merry Christmas All.
Merry Christmas All.

I know...strange to be decorating my tree yesterday and open the door to try to get a breeze in to cool off. It was somewhere in the 80's!!
But we love it! Those are great pictures. Poor baby hated the water! :)
I love Arizona in the winter. It's just perfect.
In response to your question, you need to get into your layout and there will be a tab there that says "add gadget" you'll see "blog list" at the top of the list. Just click on that and follow the instructions. It doesn't always update properly, but it's nice to have. Let me know if you have other questions.
If you guys get a chance you'll have to go to Mesa (I don't know where abouts you are in AZ) and check out the Christmas lights at the temple. It's cool to see the palm trees with Christmas lights on them!!!
I had to laugh when I saw your background, because we have the same one!
Baby is due January 18, just over a month left. Thanks for saying a look skinny in a round about way! ;)
I wish I was there with you! Winter is not my favorite in the colder places, and I have lived in some of the coldest places for the last 5 years!!!! Go figure. It looks like the kids are having a lot of fun!
Abby looked so pretty all dressed up for the luau!
Looks like you are all having a wonderful time!
