The week after Christmas we had a wonderful present from some of our cousins who live in Utah. They came down for a week to play with us and celebrate Christmas and the New Year with my Speakman family! It was so great seeing them again and getting to know their cute little babies and just being around them.
Some of the fun stuff we did while they were here: Going out to the desert and playing with their "toys!" (Quads and dirt bikes.) It was FREEZING cold that week for us here in Arizona (high in the 40s!), and I had to actually go out and by my kids winter clothes for our little excursion! We had a blast though.
Bella all bundled up for the cold. We were taking a break from the CRAZY wind and enjoying the warmth of the car.
B-rax got to go out for a long ride on the quads with Jono and the gang. He had a BLAST and talked about it for days afterwards. He is enjoying a nice big donut and dethawing in the car with us.
This is by far the coolest toy they had, and definitely B-rax's favorite. :) A mini dirt bike with training wheels!!! Cousin Brian bought two of these for his cute twin girls for Christmas, and was nice enough to let Braxton ride it a few times. He quickly became addicted and never wanted to get off, of course. Brian added a rope on back to stop the bike and prevent and mishaps, and fixed the gas so it could only go so fast. It was so fun watching B-rax enjoy it!
We enjoyed just chillin' with them all wherever we were, but it was fun to let the little kids play out on our carport with their little mini toys.
Brian and Tina's girls turned 2 while here! We had a little party for them to wish them a happy birthday.
New Years Eve was a blast. We had a HUGE party at the church house with lots of family and friends, with our amazing cousins Neil and Ben D.J.-ing for us the whole night. Here we were having a dance off between two of the youngsters there, and B-rax just HAD to get up and join in.
The kids made it until about 11:00, then both started to get that "glazed" look in their eyes so we took off to go home and put them to bed. Justin pooped out on me just before midnight, but I was a champ and stayed up (barely) to see the ball drop and hear the fireworks go off. Another year, come and gone. 2010 was wonderful. Can't wait to see what the new year brings!!

How fun! Your kids are so cute! And growing up really fast, but I'm sure you already know that. ;-)
We had such a good time. The girls keep asking if we can see "bwaxton and belwa"
We went to Cabells the other day and on the way the girls would say "and bwaxton?" and we had to explain many times we were going to CAbellas not Bellas...
Thanks for letting us come!
