Merry Christmas!! Gracie's new swimsuit for Arizona (She thought it was a purse for some reason) Hugs! Gracie and her cousins: Lucas, Ryleigh, and Aryanna Playing Rock Band on the Wii (Ha Ha Norm...I got you!) Gracie's new cell phone Opening presents Gracie found Santa's presents!!! Christmas already seems so long ago! My parents came up to visit on 12/21 and stayed until the 23rd. I had to work through the 22nd, but I'm glad my parents were here. They went to an ISU mens basketball game and got to see some of their friends from Saylorville Lake while they were here, too. Mom and I took Gracie with us to the mall on Wednesday when I didn't have school. Then after that, we went to my Grandma's for our Christmas with them. Gracie got lots of neat stuff, but I think her favorite was her new swimsuit that she slung over her shoulder like a purse. It was pretty funny. On Christmas Eve, we headed to Nick's mom's for Christmas with them. The weath...

Watching the animals at the zoo. Getting off the airplane in AZ Our brand new Camaro with the carseat in the back (borrowed of course) Great Grandpa Peters, Sarah, and Gracie Gracie exhausted Nick and Gracie swimming And going down the water slide Sun Devils Stadium Sarah, Nick and Gracie Asleep on the plane ride home Wow, did we have a great time in Arizona!! We did so much in the five days that we were there. We left Iowa on Sunday 12/27 and arrived in about 58 degrees of heaven!! We didn't do much the first day except get settled in. Nick did some grocery shopping and stayed in the hospitality room for awhile. Gracie was exhausted, but did not sleep well that first night. The next day Nick had a meeting in the morning and I took Gracie on a walk to explore the resort and see where what we could do. The resort was huge and had four swimming pools and a water slide. There was a running trail about 2.5 miles long and a little stream that ran beside it. Perfect for me! ...
