And We're Back

Our last few days in Arizona were great! We went and saw Santa again.

We went shopping with Grandma and saw a HUGE Christmas tree.

We rode on the train at the mall.

We went to the zoo.

And I recovered from pulling a Frank in the parking lot at Matta's.

Whats a Frank you may ask. Well its falling down for pretty much no reason. And I did that, in the middle of the Matta's parking lot, and my family was laughing too hard to help me up. It was pretty dang funny! Oh and my mom and I went to go see Breaking Dawn.

It was great the movie theater was practically empty and the moveie was pretty good too. Our flight back to PA went pretty smooth. Casen napped most of the first flight and we ran around the Chicago airport for a couple of hours before we got on the next one and both kids fell asleep, about 15 minutes before we landed. Bad timing. I do have to say that I was very greatful for all of the nice people who told me how great my kids were and for everyone who asked me if I needed help while I was dragging 2 kids and 4 bags across the airport. One lady even offered to help me hold Casen's hand so he could walk better. And I can't leave off all of the people who asked if I needed help off the airplane once we made it to Scranton. Its so great to know that there are still caring people out there. It was also great to see Ashlee at the other side of security. Honestly the thought of dragging everything out to the curb was making me cringe. She is my lifesaver! We had such an amazing trip. Everything was awesome! We are so lucky that we were able to spend so much time with our family and are so excited to come back in February and thaw out! We miss you guys all ready. Since we've been home the kids and I have decorated for Christmas and made a gingerbread house.

We also adopted a new member of the family. Meet Skippy our elf.

I decided that I needed a little extra motivation since I'm doing the single parent thing until Cody's rotation in York is over. So far so good. Rilyn wasnts to be super good. This weekend we're going to make a quick stop in York to go see Cody and maybe go to the National Aquarium in Baltimore. Should be fun!
