Family Christmas

This post would have been divided into at least two posts had I written it on time. Instead, I am going to clump it all into one big one!
My family arrived and we hit the ground running with Christmas activities. There is a house in Ahwatukee that decorates like crazy. They start in October!! Every inch of the outside is decorated.





One night a year, they open up the inside and let the public look around. They also decorate every inch of the inside! It was crazy Christmas!




Even Santa was there!



The next morning Ramsey had a doctor's appointment, and we made a quick stop at Trader Joe's.


The whole family got to experience Open Gym with Ramsey!







We celebrated Matt's birthday with breakfast burritos and Bosa donuts for breakfast.



We headed out to Mesa Marketplace, Ramsey got distracted by all the puppies!



Ramsey had lots of fun!


Matt got a chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream cake AND a cookie pie!


Then we headed out to Top Golf!



Ramsey had fun with Papa!


We took a family hike on South Mountain.



And headed to Bahama Buck's for a treat after our hike.


Game night with lots of fun snacks!


We also had a Christmas craft even Ramsey could participate in!


Then we opened presents!!



Ramsey started to figure out how to open presents.



We had ugly sweater Christmas, and even someone decided to dress up as Santa.


Ramsey didn't know what to think as her dad as Santa.




Family pic at ugly sweater Christmas!


That night we went to zoo lights! It was SO busy!!
















We had one tired little girl!


Hanging out in her new chair!



We headed to the park for our bi-annual basketball game.





Ramsey had a great time at the park!



We headed to Christmas Eve service at our church.


Ramsey likes to steal my nametag when we greet.


Ramsey woke up Christmas morning to her presents from Santa!




She had lots of fun with all of them!


We had a great time with my family in town. That night we headed op to Show Low for a couple days to get away and enjoy some snow. We relaxed and enjoyed a late morning breakfast.


It snowed over night so we headed out to enjoy the snow!


Our Air BnB host was so sweet and let us borrow one of their sleds.




We also got a new camera for Christmas and had some fun practicing with it! 



I had some worn out peeps!


I guess I didn't take any more pictures while we were in Show Low. The snow disappeared after our nap so we were lucky we headed to see the snow while we did. We headed back to Phoenix to watch a Concordia win!
