Well, I obviously took a break from blogging for a while, we just had too many fun and exciting things going on!
Lots of Holiday get-togethers and celebrations with family and friends.
We got hot chocolate with the Whitings and drove around and saw Christmas lights. We saw several decked-out houses, and even saw a house that coordinates the lights to Christmas music on the radio--it's crazy!

Here it is without the flash,
so you have a better idea of how "decked" these halls were! |
We attended the annual Brown Family caroling party on the 23rd. Complete with a delicious Mexican dinner and all piling onto the flat-bed truck to carol. It was a blast!

Me & the adorable Breckyn on the trailer caroling |
I had a lot of baby cuddling time...
Meet baby James (offspring of Jacob and Xanga) born December 9th
Meet baby Case (offspring of brother and sister-in-law Michael and Kami) born December 15th
Love those newborns!
(And I'll have a couple more here to cuddle with soon, two more cousins both due in January!)
We got to play "Santa's Elves" on Christmas Eve in Willcox.

Putting together a trike and a train set |
And the long-anticipated Disneyland trip with the whole Allred crew!
We are talking all 45 of us (including 12 day-old Case!).
We are already missing Calvin & Susan, who are on their way to Chile as we speak.
We were the lucky ones that got to take them to the airport...
2 years feels like it will be forever, but we are grateful we get endless phone calls and skyping!
