prescott

We took our favorite December trip to Prescott this year.  some years Joe is super tired from working so much so we skip out but his mom invited us all and even got us a hotel room so we didn't feel rushed all day.  It was super fun as always.  We started out looking at the gingerbread houses.

then the kids favorite decorating gingerbread men and women,

joe said the cookies were the best they have ever been!

I even talked my new awesome sister in law Hailey into drawing a frosting mustache on Kevin.  It started to drip but still so fun!

Reagans had so many sprinkles she couldn't hold it up and down for the picture!

Then we were first in line to get a picture with this crazy Santa that looked off to the side and pointed in every picture.  I saw him do it with the other kids too.

the whole group!  Lexi and loni and their families backed out the day before... their loss we had a blast!

My family is getting so old! here is a comparison

We went to get us a good spot then went to Bill's to get some awesome pizza!

the weather was perfect this year!  Reagan snuggling with Hailey

After the parade we checked into the hotel and the kids did a little swimming!  Reagan has been begging to swim she just doesn't understand you can't swim year round!  

Then we headed to our favorite part the walk thru Bethlehem   

while waiting Tyler got picked to play a minute to win it game!

then we headed to dinner at Red Robin.  YUM!  I know the picture is blurry but it is the only one I took!  After dinner we drove threw a light show then headed back to the hotel  we didn't get back until 10 and I think I was way more tired then the kids.  Joe and the kids watched ELF while I fell asleep in seconds.
