Early in December the Strode's (all of them except Dan) meet in Las Vegas for a family Christmas gathering. We rode the Polar express, visited with cousins and saw Santa. We exchanged Christmas gifts, and snuggled all into the same house for good food and fun Christmas movies!
We have lived here in Arizona for about 4 years and have yet to take he kids to its giant hole in the ground. Both Dan and I had lived here as teenagers/ young adults and didn't care for the family trips to the GC, so we didn't put it high on the list, but as usual, when its moving time, all the last minute trips need to be squeezed into the plans. So instead of flying Logan back to Utah for school, we drove her back and stopped oat the Grand Canyon.....yep, a very pretty, very big hole in the ground!
After bringing Logan back to Utah, we stayed a few days to visit with Grandma and Grandpa, to have some fun cousin time and to sled and freeze! New years eve Grandma and Grandpa taught the kids to make Gyoza (Japanese pot stickers) They learned how while living there on military assignment.
Then we finished our Christmas vacations, right back where we started...Vegas. With the only other Strode brother and his family. Rest was needed and enjoyed.
On to 2014!
