December has gone by so fast its unreal! Being home with family has been wonderful! We have had such a great time! The first part of the month was a little rough b/c Beegh was not here with us, but we survived it and are loving having him back ( seriously I was starting to go crazy having a baby who missed her dad and therefore constantly clung to me!
Here is what our December has looked like....
a day of shopping and eating out makes for one tired baby girl!
hanging out in Christmas Pj's. My new tradition is to give Sharlie her
Christmas PJ's on December first or the day after Thanksgiving that way
she has all month to wear them.
Sharlie loved playing in the fake snow, I can't wait to see how she
acts in the real snow (okay actually I can, I am loving the no snow
winter here in AZ!)
This year my dad got a train for under the tree, as you can see the grandkids loved it.
My little one looking so big!!
Little monkeys jumping on the bed! Sharlie and her cousins LOVED
jumping on the bed as I was pumping it up. Seriously they thought it
was the greatest thing ever. My favorite was how Sharlie instantly knew
that she wanted in on the action!
Yummy oranges! Oh how I love the citrus of AZ.
My favorite- chicken mango quesadilla. Seriously I have missed this meal.
My mom, soon to be sister-in-law and I learned how to make tamales.
Beegh's family always has a Mexican fiesta on Christmas Eve so I was
happy I had something to make for the party.
Of course we made our delicious annual Christmas candy. We decided that this year was some of our best.
It is so great to have a temple so close. It's also great to have so many willing babysitters. Beegh's sister is getting married so we all got to go through the temple with her, it was neat to have so many of us there.
Checking out the train display. This guys back yard is completely dedicated to trains.
Our annual gingerbread house . My mom and I of course took first place.
No one could beat the necko roof, open door w/ Santa and a candle in
the house.
Christmas would not be the same without going to the temple lights. It' nice to go and remember what Christmas is all about.
Pizza Mart with all of us Mechams, I think every single person had an ice cream cone here.
Well I hope everyone else is enjoying their Christmas vacation as much as we are!

Sharlie is so cute in her Christmas pjs!
How fun! wish I could have had an AZ Christmas! Who doesn't love the temple and pizza Mart? Sharlie is super cute! I love her green coat.
