Christmas & New Year's

For Christmas break Curt was fortunate enough to get a couple weeks off work, so we used it all up and headed home to Arizona! We had such a great time, thanks to our families! For Christmas, it was the Sunderhaus' year and we spent it up at a cabin in Pinetop. Besides everyone passing around being sick we had a very memorable time! On Christmas day most of us were supposed to go snowboarding, but it ended up being only Jordan and I. He was a trooper and so patient with me, we had a great time!
He's so stylish!
We did open presents before Jordan and I left and it was so much fun finally being able to give our surprises. My families tradition is to draw names and make homemade gifts. Everyone did a great job! And Curt surprised me big time too!(: we were also able to surprise my parents with our own rendition of one of the Cosby show episodes! We did the dance from the episode the family is celebrating the grandparents anniversary! It was a blast. We didn't get any pictures, but we did record it!(: We definitely made some fun memories!

Because not very many of us went snowboarding we thought it would be fun to go sledding. It was just us kids and the little babies! We had a ton of fun! Here's Curt & myself...

Chris, Rachel, and Anna! Anna was too cute and kept trying to eat the snow. She hated having her mittens on and kept trying to pull them off with her teeth. Once she did and felt how freezing the snow was on her hands she wasn't too interested in it anymore. It was pretty cute. It's so fun to see how curious little kids are!
For New Year's we spent the evening with the Dana's! We had a blast. Curt's mom did an amazing job at putting together a great meal and we really enjoyed ourselves. Curt's grandparents, an aunt, an uncle and all of us kids began playing Catch Phrase! Grandma was hilarious...I've never seen her laugh so hard! We had a really fun time and later were able to celebrate with some poppers, streamers, confetti, you name it....all but fireworks!(:


We also took family pictures on the Dana side. I don't have them yet, but they turned out really good, thanks to Sydney! Once I get them, I'll be sure to post!

My uncle brought over his dog one of the days. His name is Stiffler and is massive. I have never seen a dog so big, now I know why they call these dogs horses!
We really enjoyed our time at home. We were able to catch up with some friends, not all of them unfortunately, but loved getting in some time with our families! Thanks for a fun trip, we look forward to the next one!
We hope you all enjoyed your Christmas and are having a great start to the new year! I can't believe it's 2010!!!
