Christmas

This year for Christmas we were able to go to Utah and visit family.  Colby couldn't wait to get on that airplane.  I made the mistake of saying we were going on an airplane a week before we left.  He didn't stop talking about it for the entire week.  The funny part is that a couple minutes after taking off he fell asleep for the entire flight.  He missed the whole thing.

There wasn't any snow while we were there, so it was plenty warm for Kurt to go dirt biking (if a 30 degree high is plenty warm).  He had a great time at the dunes with his dad and brother Tony.
During our visit we went to see the lights at Temple Square.  The lights were beautiful but we froze to death.  Our bodies are a bit too used to the Arizona heat. We only made it a half hour.

We stayed with Kurt's parents this year.  Being in a different house made Colby a little nervous when he would wake up in the morning, so we reluctantly let him hang out in bed with us each morning.  One morning Colby came in to hang out and fell asleep next to Kurt.  I went upstairs to feed Cameron his breakfast.  About an hour later I went downstairs to check on them.  Kurt was sound asleep and Colby was jumping over him on the bed.  Not only had Colby been jumping on the bed but he had gotten into the diaper bag and busted open a bag of crackers.  Helping himself to them in the bed.  Poor Kurt.  I don't even think he knew what was happening.  The late nights studying have made him very difficult to wake up in the mornings. 

Colby had a great time playing with his brother and cousins.  We only wish we had remembered to take more pictures.   

Unfortunately, shortly after returning home from our Christmas vacation, Cameron caught a nasty bug.  It lasted about 10 days.  It was the worst!  He couldn't keep anything down the entire time.  He averaged 2-3 baths per day and we did a couple loads of laundry a day as well.  Poor guy...and of course poor us. This is what he looked like most of the week...

Just hoping we didn't pass it to anyone else.
