We were able to fly to Arizona on the 27th of December to spend time with the Joneses.
The first couple of days, the Nelsons were still there, so we tried to have as much fun as possible that Monday. We took family pictures in the morning, and that afternoon we went to a butterfly garden. It was so cool to have so many different butterflies flying all around you. It was very thrilling when one would land on you. They liked Mackayla's yellow jacket.

The original bunch that evening.
Early the next morning before the Nelsons left, we tried to get a picture of all the kids in their matching pajamas.
The kids had so much fun the rest of the week playing under and in the tangerine tree.
We always love getting to spend time with Grandma Jones. Here they are opening their gifts from her.

New Years Eve. Playing a game of Dominoes.
The boys had a good game going too
The Belle of the Ball
We counted down with the East coast so that the kids could actually go to bed after 10pm.
Happy New Year
Having fun at the shooting arcade inside Bass Pro Shops.
Singing Happy Birthday to Mackayla a couple days early before we left on the 2nd.
Here are a few of the family pictures that we had taken.
