Mesquite

This year even before all of the chaos with Brian's brain tumor we'd decided to go visit Jeff and Heidi in Mesquite over the Christmas break.  We left on Monday the 26th for a time of fun and adventure.  We've really enjoyed the van as it allows my parents to ride with us.  Megan and my dad still sit in the back and my kids don't want to travel without them.  We were really fortunate to be traveling between storms.  We buzzed down without incident.

The snuggie tail was still a hit.

 Grandpa wore a "helmet" so Brian didn't feel left out.

 The kids were so happy to be together again.

Matt was all excited because "We're on top of the world!!!"  It did look more impressive at night :)

 Megan and Mara had to be touching at almost all times.  They were like 2 cats snuggling together.

 Matt had so much fun he crashed.  Notice he's sleeping in Norman's lap :)

 Grandpa spoiled Brian.  They had all sorts of fun together.

 Long fun day means great sleep at night.

 Matt loves blackberries

 Grandpa wore a helmet so Brian wasn't alone.
