A white Christmas in AZ!

Christmas so much fun this year and no family fights were had!  Besides all the play fighting so that Ronnee would run in the room and split of the fight and yell at them. She does not like fighting or play fighting. She would lecture whoever was fighting tell them not to be mean. She would get really mad if anyone picked on her Hannah!

On our way down to AZ we stopped at the Listman’s for the night in Vegas to visit. Ronnee was so shy at first but you give her a few minutes and she was climbing in bed with Cleo and a book! She got spoiled rotten and she loved that she could hold the leash of their little dogs on our walk.  Sadly I was lame and didn’t even get my camera out. 

Wednesday after Tyler went golfing with Jeff we hit the road and made it to good ole San Juan before the storms hit. For the next few days it snowed and snowed. So we had a white Christmas!  Ronnee loved touching the snow and playing outside with the kids even though it was so cold! I myself stayed in the house with all the yummy food and didn’t even step outside to take pictures!

Christmas Eve we had a white elephant gift exchange and the rule was that it had to be something that you wore.  It was very entertaining to say the least! And after we opened them we had to go caroling wearing what we got.

My mom will kill me for putting this picture up here but good thing she told me she doesn’t read my blog. lol  We were all shocked that she put it on and went caroling!  Cant wait for next years!!

Later that night Tyler and Caleb went out in just the speedo’s and made snow angels. Hannah got pictures and I cant wait to see them!

My mom this year made all of us hats instead of pj’s. They are different and so cute. Ronnee wears hers around the house!

Ronnee didn’t really know or care about Christmas. So she helped put all the gifts under the Christmas tree on Christmas eve and even helped me wrap her gifts and left them alone. Christmas morning we woke her up and we went to the living room and she did think much of all the presents.  She did have fun ripping open all the gifts but doesn’t really care for them. Lol She doesn’t really like new things we are learning and thinks her baby alive is scary because it moves and cries. This all makes me laugh because all real animals big or small dont scare her at all but a baby doll does!

The kids all had a blast and I think they were all happy with what they got!

Church was really good and Ronnee didn’t even throw to big of a fit when we put the dress on her. She loved this little baby that is Ivy’s so they had a little fight during church over it. I should have thought to bring her a baby.

On Monday we loaded up the cars and went Tubing. It was really entertaining to watch.

I am so glad I am prego so that I could get out of tubing! I prefer taking the pictures instead of getting injured!

Jake got these really cute blow up bouncy cows and Ronnee loved them. One night she stole Jakes hat and put on her heels and went for a ride!

And when you couldn’t find her and Ivy you would always find them playing with their babies and a blanket! These girls are way to cute for their own good!

It was so fun being home and watching Ronnee’s relationships with all my siblings and her cousins. If anyone said they were going to leave the house she would say “I’m coming, I get my boots”  I am sure they all got sick of the fact that she had to go everywhere with them. But she got spoiled rotten because she could boss them all around and they would listen!  Man I wish that we lived closer so I could ship her off to there houses for a few hours here and there to get a nice break!

We had such a fun Christmas and I think that next year Ronnee will enjoy it even more! She has yet to play with any of her new stuff but I am hoping with time she will realize new stuff is okay and fun! lol
