Christmas in the Southwest

I'm not having very good luck with my blog posts this morning.  This is my second time writing about Christmas, since I actually deleted my first post.

Oh well.  We had Christmas in Phoenix, and had fun with family.  While we were there we ate Mexican food, saw Les Miserables, and just spent time together.  Here are a few pics: 

Making Christmas Trees on Christmas Eve.  Thanks pinterest!

Frosting that was snatched.  Quite yummy.

Toys and puffs, and he plays with the clothes tag. 

Part of Evan's haul, including the wagon from Santa.

Evan opening up his Star Wars toy, and Logan is quite interested in it as well.

Practicing standing up.

Cheesy smiles for the camera!

Pretending he's a girl.

Evan dressed as Wolverine.

Logan with his big toy this year, the jungle car track with cars. 

On the 27th, we headed to California to spend the rest of our vacation with my family.  We had a lot of fun.  The boys opened up a ton more gifts there (Second Christmas) and loved playing with all their new toys.  We went out to eat a couple of times and played Mario Kart a lot (my two nephews got it from my brother for Christmas, so we needed to break it in).  We also celebrated my nephew Casey's birthday.  He turns 7 today, actually, but we celebrated early.  He had an Angry Birds party, and the two boys LOVED playing with the balloons. 

Evan going after the Angry Birds balloons.

Evan thinking that more gifts were cool.

Yum. Birthday cake.

Logan at Farrell's.  He woke up right in time to eat as the food came out.

Mom and I.

Casey making his scary eyes for the camera!

Logan enjoying his food. 

Logan with his big smile.

Logan upset because we were getting a picture of the ice cream sundae we all shared (the 4 of us) instead of eating it.

The Gibson Girl ice cream sundae.  Totally weird...Sherbet, Vanilla, Butterscotch sauce and strawberry sauce, but still tasted pretty good.  We ordered it because it was featured on The Best Thing I Ever Ate on the Food Network.  

 And that is THE END of our Christmas holiday.
