Christmas Vacation Part 1

We went to Mesa before the big Smith get-together in Sedona to hang out with the Gift side of the fam! It was great hanging out with everyone for a couple of days! Abby was in Mesa working for the week, so we were able to see everyone but Chris who was still working in Flagstaff. Luke partied hard in the orange clubhouse he had been wanting to play in so badly (it is even cuter in person if that is possible!), and grandma Pam and grandpa Paul spoiled them as always. Here's Luke in action...

Ella wanted in on the fun too, and as long as she wasn't touching the buttons inside the clubhouse, Luke was fine with that. He thinks that all the buttons are his. You don't want to get in his way when it comes to buttons and blast off switches.

I wanted to bring home a bunch of lemons from the lemon tree but I forgot. Dang! We had fun picking a few though.

Trying to feed grandma...

Yummy waffles made by grandma...

The kids got to play with baby Amy. They love her! Such a cutie.

Aunt Abby. We love her too.

Mom and dad made a tasty Christmas dinner and we opened presents together. It felt like Christmas Eve even though it wasn't. Pretty fun that we got two Christmas Eves this year! :)

After presents we went on a walk to check out the Christmas lights in the neighborhood.

Luke's legs seem to always 'get tired' when he goes places with his grandpas. I think it's because he likes riding on their shoulders. Thanks dad for carrying him around on another adventure! :)

Luke was loving the bikes this visit too. He thought he was cool stuff cruising around and kept racing this older kid who was there. My dad showed him how to ride down the big hills at the park, and mom pushed Ella around since she wanted to ride a bike too.

Up next, our Smith Christmas in Sedona!
