Before Christmas, we took Trax downtown to see the Christmas lights at Temple Square. Ada was not impressed after spending time in Vegas, the city of bright lights, and we were a little disappointed because they seemed a lot better when we were younger. Still a nice trip, though.
And we made it back in time to sing Happy Birthday to Ellie on her second!
When we got to Midway, we ate good food, participated in a live Nativity,
took the kids tubing,
made gingerbread cookies,
and took a family portrait.
Oh, and of course, the train set.
Ada still doesn't quite understand the gift exchange at Christmas, but she sure was excited about her Yo Gabba Gabba friends
and her baby (which she immediately stole the bottle from, threw from the crib and got in herself. As Carol pointed out, we might have to wait a few years before she can babysit.)
And we took another family portrait.
After a couple more days of hanging out (including a visit to the aquarium!),
we made the long, long trip back to Flagstaff.
