Christmas Break in Rewind

This picture totally sums up our Christmas break in AZ! It was all about FOOD. We all came back with a few extra pounds. John was in heaven all break long since he had Grandma and Grandpa and his beckon call. Grandpa instantly become one of his favorites since he would sneak treats to him. John would climb up on my Dad's lap and lay his head on him. For all you guys who remember my old dog Gus he totally reminds me of him. John is ALL about food and is so dang cute about it. Joseph also had so much fun while we where gone, if you exclude his therapy. We were able to put him in a intense light sensory therapy program at SIRRI while we were in AZ. It was 12 days long and he had to go twice a day even on Christmas. He was a trooper. Joseph also was able to go to lots of parks which was a highlight since it's to cold to go in NY. He had lots of fun being with his grandma and grandpa. Todd and I had a blast thanks to my parents. They pretty much took over our role as Mom and Dad and we were able to play. It was so nice to be able to go places with just each other. I had so much fun going out on girls nights and just talking with friends. One of the highlights was Biggy coming into town. We served in Nauvoo together and have been best friends ever since. Seriously, we had so much fun and I'm so glad she was able to come. Todd had fun hangin with Doobie and other friends. We had a blast and seriously owe that to my Mom and Dad for doing EVERYTHING for us. Thank you we already miss you guys.

I love little John and his never-ending appetite! He's too cute! And Jo Jo has the cutest face. Once again, we didn't hang out much and I'm bummed about that. I'm glad I got to see you at GNO and the mall. I forget how fun we have shopping together! It was fun to see Biggie also. She's so cute. Have fun in NY!
