she dances with grandma & goes down
the slide.
Mike's family got to Phoenix on Christmas night. Then
there were FOUR cousins to take pictures of!!!
Evie, Joey, Samuel, and Amelia)
The next night we went to McCormick Railroad Park
for the special train ride & to see the decorations.
Brrrrrrrrrr- Rachel & Amelia are pretty cold
but that doesn't stop the smiles.
Adelyn & Michael luv Cookie!
Dad & mom luv Elmo!!! (and the
fancy Christmas decorations!)
Here is our group on the train- Rachel
even got a prize for the correct answer!
Savannah, Mark the chaperone, and
Elijah (who is absolutely clinging to the
pole- check out a close up) have fun
on the carousel after the train ride.
The Taylors got here on Friday night-
shooting was scheduled for Saturday a.m.
Here Nate takes aim.
Anna shows Becky the "secret desk".
Sarah & Alice have fun shopping &
get those special Uggs.
Mike's family gets presents to open-
Michael plays with grandpa while Adelyn
checks out the princess dolls.
Isn't Alissa's haircut super cute???)
Taylors also got fun presents- here
Will tries out his remote controlled car
while Becky & Tim look at their present.
Next was mom/grandma's birthday. After a special
morning meeting & a delicious dinner, more presents!
Dad/grandpa got a fun scooter on New
Year's Eve- the kids loved it! Ben &
Anna take a turn.
Why are the Taylor kids climbing
the post???
Oh...Mom's coming!!!!
ANOTHER birthday-time to celebrate Mike's.
Joey imitates grandpa- "Open Wide."
There's always room for ice cream.
It's also New Year's Eve- time for everyone
to celebrate Mike's birthday! Mark makes
his special Alaskan salmon appetizer. YUM.
Elijah thinks that all these treats are great.
The kids had fun in the fort watching videos
& eating snacks (& for Ben, building shelves.)
Time to "bang" in the New Year.
Wait a minute- what are mom &
dad Taylor doing????
The perfect ending to a trip-
Anna thinks Carole is wonderful when
she gets new root beer shampoo to
replace some that had been spilled.

So many fun things in this post!!! It is almost too much to take in. I luv the picture of people taking pictures of the four youngest cousins. McCormick Ranch was sooooo cold (for AZ) but it was worth it for the train and lights. The picture of Becky on the motorbike is priceless for her expression. And, it was fun to spend time with different family groups. It was like several chapters to the holidays this year.
