Every one's goodies all together.....

What is a family holiday without a little double dutch?

lead by your six year old niece....

and a good night story to our one year old nephew....

Did i mention the peppermint bark i made...

our storm chaser escapade in scottsdale...

with a nice pinnacle peak hike the next day when it was not snowing in the desert...

A little glitter at home...

we can't forget a neighbor's rendition of rudolf....
