Christmas....Maybe

Christmas was a little different this year but we did it. 
No matching pajamas or church activities but we did make cinnamon rolls and managed to get a tree up with lights and a few ornaments.  

Santa did bring the kids scooters and a giant trampoline which was really exciting! 

Next year, I am begging Santa for a trip to Disneyland seems we are SO close!! 
We will see.....

We got to lots of family and the growing belly!

I am SO excited to see this new journey for Ashli & Tyrone! 

Levi's Aunts - Tammi & Carolyn
Nephi and Clairana kept asking if Tammi was MiMi (Levi's mom) it was pretty sweet.
Tammi has 7 children and  16 (I think) grandkids.
They are such an amazing family with lots of crazies!




I failed at a selfie - I should really get one of those selfie sticks. 


Tyrone's parents who threw the party - his mother is so sweet - as soon as we walked in she gave me this great big hug and was very excited we made the trip.

Road Trip Cont....

Alright I am almost caught up to our new life here in AZ. 

Storage Unit!

After we drove 12 hours the first night we decided that the plan was to let the kids sleep until Oklahoma then we would take them to the zoo.....and Levi and I would just try to wear them out so we could all crash early that night. 

We had a great time and were able to see lots of things up close because it very slow. 
Winter season. Monday. Early morning. = Cheap Tickets and No Other People = AMAZING





Nephi and I were not fans! They were all over us! Not Pictured birds on my head....

Natoli Family


 Church friends - saying goodbye to our playmates was hard. 
Nephi was not in the mood for pictures. We will definitely miss the Natoli family! 
What is harder is that by the time we will get back to Indiana they will be in another place. 
Their dad is in graduate school at Purdue.

How do you really get six kids to smile??
