You ready for this Aunt Teresa..... you told me to update

Bright and early for a game of golf with GG

Theses ducks were so fun to watch and would come right up to you

A pretty hole- par 4

A little ride with GG and the grandkids

GG, Cam and Ashton helped built a cage around Grammy's plants, so those darn birds would stop eating her garden! Success- no birds since then.

Ashton took us on several golf cart rides, he's a PRO!

We DID it!

The whole family that ran.

Just short of a birdie. But I did outdrive my dad- this will never happen again. I had to record the moment!!!!! Kara was not far behind me.

All ready for the play "Annie"

Hey, how many kids can you fit at a booth in IHOP?

A family meeting to discuss Dean's Kids. Also, fun to hear stories about the kids growing up! I love reminiscing.

Last but not least, Peri was so excited about Christmas.  We stopped at Paradise bakery for a quick bite before we got on the road. There was Christmas all around us!

What a vacation! We had so much fun spending time with cousins, and Aunt and Uncles that we never get to see.  We swam a ton, had a sisters golf game with our dad ( sooo fun), we shopped at Charming Charlie's, we ate out way tooo much, made a delicious Thanksgiving dinner, listened to Uncle Kurt and Auntie Teresa tell funny stories, put together a puzzle ( did you finish the rest Grammy?), went to The Hale Theatre for Annie (SO GOOD), drove Grammy's golf cart and chased bunnies, played cards (Ashton wants to note that he beat his dad in Rummy three times, and in three rounds), did Auntie Sheila's craft, played with cousins and laughed and stayed up late. I can hardly wait till we get to all be together again.  THANK YOU Mom and Dad for such a wonderful trip to Arizona.  It was the best Christmas present ever.  There's nothing better to me then spending time with my family! I love you all so much.
