Holiday Travels

We arrived safe and sound from our travels to Oregon! It was fun to visit with the Cornelius family and celebrate an early Christmas with them. I guess we brought the Northwest weather back with us ... Phoenix is having a lot of rain and thunderstorms. Funny!

We're looking forward to Christmas and then us parents travel to Las Vegas for a second honeymoon of sorts! While we are away traveling, Debbie travels to Phoenix for her new job! It will be great to have her living closer. When we return, we'll celebrate a New Year with family and the end to our past few months of travel.

In honor of all the traveling, the kids got their photo with the Airport Santa. Ho ho ho!

A Foxy Grad

Our little brother David graduated from George Fox University this weekend!! We're so proud of him. We were able to travel to Oregon this weekend for the ceremony. It was special to be back in the Northwest and support David on this special occasion.

It was also sentimental to walk the campus where we had graduated ourselves ... 10 years ago. And now, here we are with two children, walking past the old dorm rooms and eating in the dining hall with them as we applaud "Uncle David" in his accomplishments. Isn't life amazing and wonderful?!?

Our kids meet "The George Fox Bruin"

This pretty much sums up the excitement for the day

Hail the conquering grad!

Yo Gabba Gabba!

If you watch the television show, then you know that the Yo Gabba Gabba Live event in Phoenix just HAD to be awesome! And, it WAS. Us parents think that this is one of the most creative, artistic and enjoyable kids show to watch.

We all rocked our DJ Lance glasses. Josh was a little tired, but he really got into the groove as the show went along. He even got his dancy dance on!

The best part of the show was Biz Markie and his beats!! We highly reccomend this stage and TV show to kids and parents alike. Yo Gabba Gabba!

TRON-tastic

Over Thanksgiving, we had a BLAST hanging out with our family. We love seeing our Cali cousins and we had an amazing opportunity to go to Disneyland with all of them!

While we were at the happiest (and most crowded-day-after-turkey-day) place on earth, we experienced the Disney promotion of the upcoming TRON Legacy. It was TRON-tastic. One of the neat things was the 80's-style arcade area with all the old school games. Centipede, Atari Pole Position, Donkey Kong, and the like. The kids got into the scene and even played glow-in-the-dark air hockey!

Tonight we are watching the original TRON movie with our Arizona cousins. Initiate. Fun. Sequence. Looking forward to a wonderful holiday season! (And, of course, the TRON: Legacy flick)
