Tis the Season . . .

Well we had a great week. I really enjoyed cleaning for two days solid and moving all of the furniture in the house. I did, however, feel bad about not being able to help the neighbors. There were so many people moving!!! The whole face of the ward will be different by the time we get back.
We ended up flying out on time and had a great trip. I was nervous because of all the snow that was dumping onto Rexburg at the time, but the plane just waited 45 minutes to be de-iced and everything was fine :)
Alisabeth did great on the trip. She loved looking out the window and flirting with the stewardess and other passengers. We were in the Salt Lake airport for an hour and it was just enough time to take her up and down the escalators about 15 times and replace all of the magazines in the racks 3 times. We also got a jamba juice type thing and spent the next flight hiding it from Alisabeth who would go insane until she got some if she saw it. She had quite a fun time throwing tantrums :)
We used the monkey harness which is basically a baby leash. That was great because she kept wanting to go up the down escalator and that just wouldn't have been fun for anyone.
Once we got to Tucson it was a blast too. She was naked by that time, having played with ice cubes and being soking wet. So I had to change her while we waited for the bags to come, then it was off to lunch with my mom and Al and we've been zooming around since. We were even able to go to Jason's mom's "surprise" party. That's the only thing we've taken pictures of, so those are below.
For those of you stuck in Rexburg or other snowy areas. . . hahahahaha.
The average temp seems to be around 65 degrees and it's mighty cold here. I keep forgetting to bring my jacket with me :)
The roads are perfectly clear of snow, and it's a good thing because the drivers and a bunch of not so nice people. If they had ice on the road, I think 1/2 the city would be dead right now.
We're excited for our first of several Christmas' tomorrow night and who knows what else.
Oh, and the carmel turned our alright, but a bit dark because of the old brown sugar for those who wanted to know.
Love you all. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
