The kids wore their new jammies from Grandma and Aunt Katie and stayed up late with Julia. Bobbins and I went up to the Schaefers to hang out and play games with Jess's siblings and their significant others. It was a nice evening. We were home before midnight.

Fiesta Parade
Our friend Will graciously put out seats for us on Central, and we enjoyed the whole Fiesta Parade, esp. the bands.
Williams for the Day
The older 4 got a ride on the Polar Express from Grandma & Grandpa for Christmas, so we made a day trip to Williams out of it. Lunch at Bun Huggers in Flag, a check-in at the cabin, a visit to Bearizona (which was packed), dinner at an Italian restaurant, then a stop to see Fr. Peter in Flag on our way home. It was quite a fun (and warm) day.
St. Stephens Day Hike and Watch Ya Mouth
We again had our 12/26 hike near our house, this time with Julia and 2 kids strapped to my body. Yes, I was still the first to the top.
That night we tried out our other new game, Watch Ya Mouth. You put a plastic mouthpiece in and try to get your partner to guess what phrase you're saying. It's quite a laugh. MM demonsrates:

Christmas Day
JoJo (new bike) and Owen (motorcycle helmet and Nerf rifle) probably made out best Christmas morning from Santa. There were so many presents that a few got lost in the shuffle. Nana T and Pop brought breakfast over, which was great. Nana also got us a game called Toilet Trouble which lived up to its name too much: we spent all day trying to get it to work. We did our puzzle this year, a 300 piece Trevi Fountain, finishing after dinner. Aunt Patty and Uncle Chris ate with us and provided delicious banana cake - and a Nerf pistol for the boys.
Christmas Eve
With Christmas on Monday this year, we did the two-fer: Sunday morning 9am Mass, then the 4:30 vigil Mass later. This year we hit the latter at St. Joan of Arc to avoid seeing someone and to hear Sienna sing. It was crowded and chaotic, of course, but we got through it. Later, we had a nice roast dinner prepared by Bobbins & Julia at our house, then opened some presents. The hit of the night were Fisher's glasses to be like Papa.
