Presents from Grandma

My mom went shopping on Friday and bought Miss Morgan a few fun items.

She LOVES her Grandma!

Sundogs Game

On Friday night we packed the truck up and headed to Prescott Valley to celebrate Christmas with Shawn's family. The town has a small hockey team called the Sundogs...so with his family being hockey fans we decided to head to a game. Here is Zach with the mascot.

Morgan and Daddy watching the game. Morgan clapped and cheered the whole night..she even danced when the music came on which lead our family to the "Arena Screen" for all to see. Morgan just kept shaking her bootie and the crowd was laughing at her. She is such a ham sometimes!!

Christmas with the Shero's

Saturday was filled with video games...Madden, Wii bowling...basically whatever the guys could keep themselves entertained with!

The stockings are hung and waiting to be peeked in...

Shawn and I. Every year I always get us matching clothes for our Christmas celebrations. A few years it was pajamas, and the other years we have done shirts. This year I picked green shirts for all of us. Zach and Shawn had matching shirts with the Grinch.

Presents, Presents, and MORE Presents.

Aunt Danielle and Morgan.

Opening her first gift...she had so much fun!

Zach also had fun opening all of his gifts.

Frosty's Run

Sunday morning we woke up at 5:15a.m. and loaded up the car to leave Prescott by 6:00a.m. so I could go run a 10 mile race in Phoenix. When we arrived to the race site it was pretty cold. After about a mile into the run I warmed up and ran along. My time was 1 hour 54 minutes. I beat my time by 6 minutes, so I was happy! (That is me in the maroon tank).

Jeni and I after the race.

Cabela's

We finished our Sunday with a trip to Cabela's with my parents. We wandered around and found a few items that we needed, stopped to get another picture with Santa, then had some lunch in the cafe upstairs.
Grandpa took Morgan to see the fish inside Cabela's...she loved it!

Miss Morgan

Just a video of Miss Morgan being silly....this is usually how it is around our house. Silliness all day. She has started to add so many words to her vocabulary these days. She will try to say almost anything you ask her to. Our dog Paris is her favorite...every morning when she wakes up she always asks for "Pa is". She has found a new joy for snowmen during the holiday season and Minnie and Mickey Mouse are a sure thing to make her smile! Morgan is still weighing 20 pounds. She is eating almost everything we eat for dinner...some nights she is a little picky. I continue to feel so blessed each and everyday that I get to stay home and be a mommy to her!

Holiday Fun

We started our weekend fun on Thursday night this past week. We loaded up the car and headed to the Adobe Train Park by my parents house. I never even knew this place was there until my mom received a flyer in the mail about train rides and Santa Claus...so we decided to check it out. This park is AMAZING! The trains that you ride are small, and look like real steam engines. The owners have designed numerous tracks through the desert and set up scenery along the way. We did not see everything as it was dark out and they only took us on one track that was decorated with Christmas lights, but we will definitely be going back during the day to see the rest. Morgan had her first visit with Santa at the park...she wanted NOTHING to do with him and would NOT leave Grandpa's arms.

Here are my parents and Morgan loaded on the train waiting for departure! It was SOOO cold out!

Once we were done on the train ride, we headed inside to see the very tiny trains that were set up. Zach was able to control one of the trains and even wear a conductor's hat. We had a great time at the Train Park.

On Saturday morning Morgan and I headed to Cabela's with my mom to visit Santa again. This time Morgan was even more upset!

After pictures with Santa and a little shopping Morgan and I headed to the Orpheum to watch a Christmas Ballet. This place is amazing! Morgan was in complete awe through the entire show and clapped at the end of all the dances.

After the show we waited outside to congratulated Tatum and Skylar, our friends who performed in the ballet. Morgan was having fun running around!

Here we are with Miss Tatum...her brother did not want to be in the picture, but they both did a terrific job! Morgan and I will continue to make this an annual tradition now. Along with the Nutcracker, which we will start next year with the Bondi girls!

Speaking of the Bondi girls, we also went to watch them dance Saturday night at Glendale Glitters. They were each in 2-3 dances and again did a terrific job! Morgan LOVES watching the girls dance!

In between our two dance shows we headed to Scottsdale for story time with Mrs. Claus. Morgan was okay with her.

We sat and listened to Mrs. Claus tell us the story of the Gingerbread Boy. She ran around and captured all the kids attention.

We left our house at 8:30 a.m. and did not arrive home until 10:00p.m. we were both exhausted. I was so grateful Miss Morgan slept until 8:30 to let her mommy catch up on some sleep. Today we are cleaning a bit then baking treats for our fun weekend ahead.
