Christmas in Arizona!

Russell and Michelle, and their 4 cute kids (Jane, Max, Ava, and Sophie) came to AZ this year for Christmas.  Blake and Ami, and their 2 cute kids (Juel and Asher) live here in AZ as well, so it was good times.  Thanks for making the trek and making the week such fun. My kids are still in withdrawal from their cousins.
 
Christmas Eve - about to open their jammies

Baby Sophie was the sweetest thing on the planet all week long. 

Asher was "missing" and whenever that happens it is not a good sign... but this time - we laughed our butts off when we found him.  He had squirted chocolate sauce all over the pantry floor and was sittin in the corner just suckin' it down!  I swear to you, we did not pose him.  The "Oh crap, I've been caught and must look remorseful expression" was all him.  


OK - Little Ava (on the right) was like this all week.  Such a funny little girl and had us cracking up all week long.  she was the total class clown and one-liner queen.  Kobe, of course, her one-liner King.  They give both their parents such good times!

The "boys" gingerbread house.  The competition was fierce.  I think Russell called it a tie.

Juel and Asher were more interested in eating the candy, rather than decorating with it.... at this point, Asher gave up and headed for the chocolate!
The most handsome kid on the planet!  Although clothing is always optional with him.

Waiting to see if Santa came!

Kalvin, Daisy, Sage and Kobe

Our little Rock Star Daisy!  Again, clothing is always optional at the Wettstein's home.

Daisy on her jeep.  She thinks she is so cool on this thing. 

Sage and Jane - peas in a pod all week long.  

We took the kids to Fountain Hill (where the largest man-made geyser is) and fed the ducks and geese, which were crazy! no fear and very aggressive about getting their bread at times.  Daisy was way into it.

Wettstein kids waiting for the geyser - go already!

Seriously - the only picture we have of all 8.  None with all 10.  So mad about that. still check out Daisy... thrilled to be in the shot as usual... Don't get me started on Max - every picture I have of him he is covering his face - kid did not like the sun or the flash or the camera or whatever MAX!  Fun kids. 

Ava was forced... Kobe was not!


Finally! Touchdown!

Aaron and Russ, I mean, Russ and Aaron

Me and Daisy girl.  Again - diving from the picture - the little stinker.

Russ and Michelle... Russ thank you for giving me such a great sister-n-law.  She is a great person and friend.  I am glad to have her in my life.  Again - thanks for coming and spending this year with all of us in AZ.  A great time was had by all.
