Christmas in the "Sunny City"
We had a fabulous Christmas with Chris's dad, sister and brother in law! Despite missing our flight on Christmas day and spending all of it in the airport (12 hours). We managed to catch a flight on the 26th and did not arrive until 11:30 pm. We had a great celebration on the 27th. The girls received lovely gifts from Poland and many toys and clothing too! Both girls love giving gifts and assisting in the opening of all gifts. 

Andrea loved most from this trip...
"Picking oranges with Grandpa." (grandpa's house)
"Watching the bobcat be fed." (Desert Museum)
"Walking in the really, really cold water." (Sebino canyon)
"Playing Dr. with the kids." (Tucson Children's Museum)
"Hitting grapefruits with oranges." (grandpa's version of bowing, using fruit)
"Swimming in the pool." (at the hotel)
"Opening all the presents....wearing the Cinderella dress that grandpa gave her"

I think that Ahleah's favorite parts of the trip were...
-meeting Grandpa, she gave him so many smiles
-opening presents, eating wrapping paper
-the dog that sings Feliz Navidad and shakes maracas
-swimming in the pool
-trying to eat orange's with the peel on
-learning how to walk
-chasing Grandpa's dog Charlie he wouldn't let her touch him

Chris and I both loved the time we got to spend with family and having Christmas in person. 
When we visit next we hope to see Sabino Canyon and the Desert Museum again and enjoy more of the desert and outdoors.
