Oh man! What a TREMENDOUS year it has been for our family--one of the best for sure! How could we ever top it? Having Carlie home for 2.5 weeks of course!!!
Carlie made it home in time to see Max & Tatum in their final performance of Annie at Higley Performing Arts Center. We then settled in for a nice/quiet/relaxing Christmas here at home with JUST US!!!
CHRISTMAS EVE:
We did our normal Christmas traditions--Christmas Eve PJs/slippers, light-looking, and of course SONIC!
Max has been taking tap this year. Here he is showing off his skills in his cool new slippers!
CHRISTMAS DAY:
We started with breakfast and presents. Then hit the movies where we watched "Spiderverse." We once again had a puppy with us this Christmas--this little tiny 1 pound chihuahua was stolen from somewhere. The lady who stole him was arrested for shoplifting at a store. When she was taken into the police department, they dumped out her purse to see all her loot. Along with many other stolen items fell out this tiny puppy. So I was called in by the Mesa Police Department to take the little guy in for the month. We called him "Ralphie" (from A Christmas Story) and I just LOVED this little guy! Seriously, every time I take in a single pup, I want to keep him for myself! So I "try" not to let this happen too often. But little Ralphie was a blast on Christmas morning! He had the BEST time rummaging through all the discarded wrapping
paper:)

And of course our cute little Ralphie that we had all month! LOVE LOVE LOVE this little man! It about killed me taking him back in January! But I did it--well, truth be told...Carlie did it for me:)
It hit me that this may be our last Christmas with our family dynamics just like this. Carlie will probably on a mission by next Christmas and then Ethan gone the Christmas after that. My family is growing up for sure. But boy...what a great family its been. Love these crazies to the moon and back.
