A quick jont to USERY PASS to enjoy the nice weather.

While in Mesa for our Christmas Parties we managed to squeeze in some outdoor time for the kids. It was overcast and beautiful outside. Rustin and Lacey went on a hike while canyon and I strolled around following Kasen & Jaxon taking pictures. 

This is one of our favorite spots to picnic in the desert.

It felt so good to be in perfect weather. And to be outside admiring the desert.

It was my favorite hour of the day!

Our Randall & Bevell Christmas Parties!

We traveled down to Mesa for a fun filled day of Christmas Joys! We Partied all day. First at Dallan and Bobbi's for our Randall gift exchange. Then we ended up at Grandma Bevells for the annual Christmas dinner and activities. We love being together as a family. Here are event highlights in reverse...

Grandma loves to makes things festive so she had a table or two in every room of her tiny house decorated with real dishes for us to dine on. She even set up smaller tables for the little kids. We all felt remembered and loved.(She does not have a dishwasher and there are about 60+ of us....now thats love.)

In every grandma's house aren't there items you just always see and that stay the same year after year. 

Grandma's old fashioned scale decorated different for every season.

It's always hung right here by the fireplace for as long as I can remember

Lacey prepared for this program for weeks. She was so excited when Troy and I and the kids showed up to watch. She sang very well and was so fun to watch.
