An Arizona Christmas

We loaded up our truck with kids in tow and headed for Arizona for Christmas. We left the Monday before and left early Friday. The trip was a long one (15 hours there and 17 hours back). Scott's brother Mat and his wife Amanda also came so we had two extra drivers which was nice. The kids did exceptionally well for the most part going there with Jackson only having two meltdowns. Coming back was a different story. We won't get into that though. It was great to see PawPaw, Nana and Nick. We hadn't seen them in so long. It was the first time we had visited Arizona and it was a major difference from Dallas, Texas. The weather was nice but we didn't get to go skiing which we were hoping to do. Oh well, it was really nice hanging out with family instead. Christmas was great. Santa came early that morning and brought lots of neat toys for the kids. The day we left it actually started snowing! We had to cut our trip short but we ended up having nice weather on the ride back. It was great seeing them. Jackson really took to them, especially PawPaw. It was nice to see since we hadn't seem them in a while and I was hoping he wouldn't be shy. I think Jackson's true colors came out as he was wrestling PawPaw and Nick. He got so rough with them!
