Arizona Bloods

Our trips to Arizona are even awesomer now that we have my parents, Scott & Mary AND Aaron & Ashley in the state. Since Aaron & Ashley are only 40 minutes from my parents, we got to hang out several times. And steal their second car. 
Playing Minecraft (actually Carcassone)

My kids would happily give us up to live with Aunt Ashley forever.

Aaron snagged this pear off their counter and proceeded to eat half of it.
Just like this.

After an adventure involving not one, but TWO dead car batteries (Ashley has a better and wittier post on this here), we headed back to my parents.

Here is Aaron, realizing his ancestral calling as a video gamer:

Following in the proud footsteps of his father and grandfather before him:

Our Thanksgiving tree (just for Catherine, who insisted we needed a tree):

Grandma Cathy had the kids help pack Santa boxes to send to poor kids in other countries.
Not sure they really got it, but we tried! 

Uncle Brian showed up early and surprised us all.
Aaron was not too sure about this very large man:

I love sharing you with the Bloods. It means more motivation for Jon to visit AZ!
