Christmas in Arizona

Before we could leave for Christmas, a few things needed to be taken care of. #1 Holiday Sweaters. I LOVE themes! I don't choose to call them ugly. Sean's vest just makes me smile. We weren't able to make it to my work's holiday party - so I begged Sean to dress up for dinner at his Aunt and Uncle's. 
#2 Holiday nails. I love being festive and like to prove it on my nails. That reminds me- I should blog more about my nails. TBC.
With sweaters and nails done- we were ready to go!
It felt like a majority of our vaca was spent driving. Correction: Sean driving, me sleeping! After the Vegas game, we drove to Arizona for Christmas. My parents have a 'winter' home down there.  Kari, my sistah, and her family traveled in for the holiday too. If you haven't been able to tell, I'm obsessed with my nieces. I was SOO excited to have almost a week with them.

Addie developed a little crush on Sean.  Sean said he noticed she'd stare at him a lot. I didn't get jealous. I stare a lot too.


Here's Addie literally in pursuit of Sean.

The fam had a fun game of tag at the park.


 Everything is more fun with the girls around. We played "Headbandz" and went roller skating.

 I don't enjoy rollerskating. Typically I dress up in skating outfits to distract from my lack of skills.  With no fun outfits this trip-- I held on tightly to Sean.

 Finally-- Christmas eve. Everything is more fun with these girls around. Here they are leaving cookies for Santa and happily going to bed early.

Sean-ta was good to me this year. I got a new snowboard! A Burton Feelgood. My favorite part - the bindings are Burton Stilettos. :) Sean-ta got me everything I asked for: a portable cupcake carrier, hair masks and products, & shoes. I'm lucky.

The highlight of both Sean & I's Christmas: talking to Dylan! Sean's younger brother is serving a mission in Detroit.
