christmas vacay part 3

post christmas in AZ
for some reason there were so many people who were asking us if we were going to be swimming while on our trip in AZ.
news flash: arizona pools are cold in the winter!
but for some reason casey felt like he had to prove everyone wrong and that he was tough and COULD go swimming in AZ in december. i told him he could have $75 for eating out at places without me complaining (eating out isn't my first fun priority) if he got it (because i thought it was funny and he felt like he needed a reward). he got in long enough to realize how freezing cold it was, take a picture and jumped straight out. he's such a hoot.

first shock of water temperature.

once the family from utah got in town, some of us lucky ones took a b-line trip to tia rosa's. oh i love thee tia rosa's.
my mouth is just watering writing about my beloved salmon tacos.
our order ranges from salmon, shrimp, and chicken tacos mainly.
mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

britton wasn't too enthused about our tia rosa's trip.

maxson got this sweet new camelback kids water bottle for christmas and it is awesome for all of us.

an arizona scene

the kids played in the backyard A LOT.
like a lot a lot.
casey was the best uncle/dad ever and was CONSTANTLY outside with the kids pushing them around on cars, chasing them, pushing them on swings. just being the ultra awesome husband of mine.
