This year we decided to head to Arizona to spend Christmas with Tory's family. His Grandpa hasn't been feeling very well and Tory wanted to spend some time with him. Tory's brother, Logan, and his famiy drove down from Colorado Springs, too. I got sick right before we left and by the time we got there I was really bad. We drove through the night to get there and when we arrived I went straight to bed, slept all day, all night, and finally woke up the next morning. It was seriously miserable. Claire & Beckham got it, too, but somehow the boys and Tory managed to survive. Poor Uncle Logan came down with it on Christmas Eve. Families that share together...OK. Maybe not. But we all eventually got better and we enjoyed our trip.

The boys slept outside in a tent the entire time we were in Arizona. It got down in the 30s every night and sometimes they woke up to ice on their tent. We didn't have to wait too long for them to come knocking on the door Christmas morning though!
Looks like Santa came!
Austin loved his telescope. Arizona was the perfect place to try it out. Clear skies everywhere!
Dallin got a bow and arrows...just what he wanted!
Coen's dream came true when he saw he had a rainbow loom to make rubber band bracelets.
Claire checking out her stocking. Santa surprised her with a fun three-wheeler bike.
Beckham was in car heaven with his Cars racetrack. It hooks up to the boys' Geotrax collection at home so it will be lots of fun!
Evelyn is showing us her new game. Looks tricky!
Checking everything out!
Great Grandpa Baldwin came over to open his presents.
Tory made his dad a jellybean dispenser. Of course the kids waited in line "patiently" to get a sample.
While all of this was going on, Tory was busy in the kitchen making several batches of homemade cinnamon rolls for everyone! They were delicious!

What a Christmas! It looks like everyone had such a nice time. Sorry there was a little sicky stuff for a while though. Tory made cinnamon rolls in the kitchen for everyone! Wow! It must have smelled heavenly. I'm so glad you had this time with family and especially Grandpa Baldwin.
