Holiday photos!

Yes, it's time to end the year with some pictographs from the holiday season. First: Christmas! Second: Our brief visit to Sedona! Join me, won't you?











Those are the Christmas photos. Pretty standard stuff. Mia likes to tear off the wrapping paper, and Norah digs her presents.

Then on Thursday, 27 December, we went to Sedona for a few days. My mom really wanted to go, and who are we to say no to my mom? The afternoon we arrived, it snowed/rained/hailed a bit, and we took the kids to an outdoor shopping mall:



Friday, however, was gorgeous, if cold. Here's the view from right outside our hotel room:



Then we went on a Pink Jeep tour. We weren't sure if Norah would like it (because of all the turbulence), but she loved it. Here we are (my mom stayed at the hotel with Mia, who NOT have enjoyed it at all):



And here's Norah and the jeep:



We drove up Oak Creek Canyon (like you do) and stopped at the scenic viewpoint at the top. This is the third time we've done it, but the first with the kids. Norah got out and played in the snow. She likes snow, but rarely sees it:



So that's just a little of what our holiday has looked like. Soon Krys will be back to work (she took last week off), my parents will be driving back to Pennsylvania, and the kids will be back in school. I know, what will I do without everyone here all the time????
