christmas with Becca

On December 29th we celebrated Christmas.
It was great to have becca home again.
We spent the morning opening presents
and having cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate.





Christmas Day 2009

On Christmas day we opened some gifts.
Since becca was not coming home for

Nutcracker

I took Jessica to see the Nutcracker Ballet.
We went out to lunch first. Applebee's
is one of Jessica's Favorite Restaurants.

After lunch we went to the Mesa performing
arts center to see the Ballet. We had
Third row center seats. It was great. you
could almost touch the performers.


After the Ballet we baught nutcracker
ornaments to remember the fun time
we had together.

Temple Lights 2009

The day after Thanksgiving we always go
to see the temple lights. This year we
