Christmas Favorites

Christmas was great! We have been very blessed to give and receive more presents than were strictly necessary. We've really relaxed and have been spoiled by family and friends. What more can you ask for from a vacation?!


BEKAH'S FAVORITE THINGS:

Her new play kitchen (given in LA a few days before coming to Mesa).



Playing any piano she can get her hands on.

More presents!!


Being loved by Aunt Holly, and sharing a lemon with her.


Playing guitar with grandpa.


MY FAVORITE THINGS:

Staying a few days in Holly's FABULOUS guest bedroom. It's no wonder I chose her to redecorate my apartment!


Decorating gingerbread cookies with Brenda and her kids.


Eating a monstrous dessert with some girlfriends.


Having my mom take care of me and a killer headache--so nice to be babied! (Bekah couldn't resist being just like me and insisted on getting her own chilled washcloth. What a nut!)


Seeing how much my dad enjoyed the Snuggie we gave him.


Spending time with my grandma, Bekah's great-grandma, and seeing them together.


MALCOM'S FAVORITE THINGS:

Playing with Bekah (this is one of her favorite games, "pretending to sleep").


Playing video games. Lots of video games. (He definitely deserves it, having earned B's in both masters' classes this semester by depriving himself of all recreation.)

We are looking forward to a new year and hopefully even better things to come.
