Scottsdale

The company Dwight works for sends all the employees and their familes on a small trip each December. This year they sent everyone to Scottsdale, AZ.
It was the kids first time flying, and I must say they did so well. Although it certainly didn't hurt, packing snacks, games and a few other things to pass the time.


During the trip the company paid for Dwight, myself and the boys to go Hot Air Ballooning. It was sooooo cold, but soooo fun! Next time we'll think twice about leaving the coats and gloves at home. (who thought we would need them in Arizona, right?!... apparently not us.)

Our sweet Kalaya! For some reason she has started this new thing where she HAS to have her hands on her face when her picture is being taken...why? We have no clue. But she'll put up a massive fit, if you try to convince her otherwise. Here are a few pics of her on the plane ride home. I took a ton hoping she'd eventually put her hands down... unfortunately she takes after her mother in the stubborn department. :o) But I must say, hands or no hands, she is adorable.




Sorry, for some reason these pictures wouldn't upload any larger than this. Hope you can see them alright. We were lucky the trip was to somewhere where we've lived before and had some family and friends to visit. It made the trip so much more fun. The kid's exchanged early Christmas presents with Bob and Brenda; we were able to visit our friends at the Coin Gallery where Dwight used to work before we moved; and were able to visit with Dwight's brother and his family - the kid's really loved seeing their cousins, sorry no pics. The trip was only 2 1/2 days, but we packed so much into that time, that we needed a vacation when we got home.

The kid's opening presents from Bob and Brenda. Early Christmas, Woohoo!

This real and ediable gingerbread house (above) and the giant Christmas tree(below) were just a few of the decorations in the lobby of our 5 Diamond Hotel, The Phoenician. *we were lucky to not have to foot the bill for this place - it was so far beyond amazing*

And here's Dylan after losing ANOTHER tooth on the plane ride home. I told him he has to stop losing teeth, or he won't be able to eat.
