New Years in Flagstaff

Since we did not have a White Christmas and enjoyed the warm California sun; we decided to go to Flagstaff and introduce Kendra to the snow. We drove up on New Year's Eve and stayed through the weekend with Granddad & Grandma Leonard. We went to the Pine Cone Drop (New York time) and celebrated! Here are a few pictures from our fun weekend!
We got all bundled up and saw the Pine Cone Drop! 2010 here we come!

I don't know if you can even see the pile of snow in front of her on the step....but that was all the snow she wanted!

We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the cold trip! Thanks for the fun, Teresa & Ken!

Christmas

We celebrated Christmas early with the Leonards and went to Zoo Lights. Our family picture that we enclosed in our Christmas card was taken at Zoo Lights. It was fun to relax and just enjoy the time with family before all the traveling.

Christmas was spent with the Costello Family and was Kendra's first time on an airplane. It was so cute, in the airport she waved goodbye to the planes and then when we got on the plane she waved goodbye as we took off.

The man at the ticket counter gave her a transfer tag and she held on to that the entire trip until she fell asleep on the plane. We are waiting for our plane!

Lyndon thought it would be fun to put bows on Kendra since she liked to play with them so much....in the end everyone was putting bows on Kendra! This was the end result!

After presents were opened and food was served Granddad, Grandma, Great-Aunt Barb, & Great-Grandma took a walk to the park so Kendra could play on the swings. I guess they took her on the slide and according to Kendra traumatized her! HEHEHEHE! Thanks for all the fun in California...look forward to our trip on MLK weekend!

Thanksgiving

So I have been behind in updating the blog so I thought I would combine the three major holidays we spent with family and summerize.....

Thanksgiving was a whirl wind of a trip to California. We visited both sides of the family and Kendra was glad to be home and out of the car when all was said and done!
