Vaca- into January.

 Look closely. There are hot air balloons. The Barons get to see them all the time.

Macey playing on the tramp alone. It wasn't safe with the 4 boys on there.

 Macey petting Utah the cat.

 Macey wasn't near as shy as usual. She made friends with her aunts quickly while she shared her toys with them.

 Everyone had a favorite princess and could sing along to their 'castle' songs.

 We had a family party for Ryan (which was really a reason for all of us to get together as a big family.)

 The goods.

 And for family fun, we went to sky zone in Peoria.

 Alex flipping.

 Macey on the toddler tramps.

 Why don't we have a nice picture of us with the Williams? Who knows, but we did spend the night with them. We exchanged gifts. Ours was a lunch at Island's burger place. Yum!

 The W's have got on Skype so we'll be 'seeing' a lot more of this part of our family this year. Hooray!

 Park day with the Inmans.

 Field trip to an outlet mall.

 Macey wanted a picture by herself in front of the tree.

 The cousins.

Taking home the trophy.

 Playing with stickers. Ah, it is such a long trip home.

 

Electronics anyone?

The day we got home was Jan 6th so we had to go to the Contreras for the baby Jesus cake. Alex got the 2nd baby so he is supplying us with tamales for our Feb 2nd dinner. (Don't worry, they have already been ordered. I'll let him put the tortilla chips in a bowl!)
This vacation went longer than last year since the kids didn't start school until the 8th. Next year will be Ryan's baptism, so maybe some of the AZ crew will come visit us at Christmas time... :)
