An AZ Christmas!

Joseph, Jesus, and a shepherd that really really loves portable electronic devices 

We're back in Houston ready for school to start again, but we had a great trip in Tucson (despite the kids being sick for the first half). We stayed with Mom and Dad, and mainly it was just great to be with family. Alison and Brandon were so great for picking us up at the airport, making us dinner, and going out of their way to spend time with us. I think the following video captures some of the fun family dynamics of being together. It's kinda long, but the end is the cutest part.

Enoch has always loved that bunny (it used to be mine when I was young) but in the Christmas spirit he also became inseparable with the Grinch. Thanks Dad for the photo!

Towards the end of the trip we got to go to Mt. Lemmon and enjoy the snow. It was a blast! I wanted to post a great picture of Dad lying in the snow with a Joe Joe in his mouth, but I couldn't find it. It was Enoch's first time playing in the snow. He wasn't quite sure what to make of it, but we forced him to have fun anyway. Hopefully. Maybe. See for yourself:

We also celebrated Sharon's birthday. She looks lovely!

Near the end of the trip, the weather turned beautiful and the kids weren't as sick, so we went to Sabino Canyon. Got a couple of family photos from strangers, not sure which one I like the best.
