Christmas in Arizona with my Nana!

We left for Arizona on Wednesday and spent a great two days with my Nana and Pat. We got in on Wednesday evening and enjoyed visiting for the first time in a long time! We haven't seen Nana since summer 2008. It had been way to long! On Thursday we all took the kids to ride the train at a local park. Then we went to dinner at the Olive Garden (nana's favorite restaurant)then headed back to Nana's to let the kids open a present, make their reindeer food (thanks to Erin's recipe) which Ava decided that she was going to eat instead. We set out cookies for Santa and Zach had one for himself too :) That night he was up until past midnight due to the time change. He even managed to wake Ava up around 11 so Santa had a late night with those two. On Christmas day we woke up and opened our stockings and presents. The kids loved it! They liked the opening presents part far better than the actual toys. It was just after we were done that we got the call about Bella. I'm kind of glad I missed the first call because at least we got to enjoy some of the day. The rest of the day was spent in a mad rush to get home. Christmas will never be quite the same for me.
