In the snow

Well, I was starting to think we might have a winter with no snow at all, but it finally came!  Calvin and Brian built a cool sledding track in the backyard.  I tried to take some pictures of the kids, but they were moving so fast!

So finally I gave up and took some video:

And we finally, finally got to make a snowman!

He wasn’t too big, but it’s the best we could do with the crumbly snow.  We were so glad to have some winter fun at last!

A day at the zoo

The three cousins at the zoo... Emme was there too, of course, but she did not participate in the total craziness of these guys.

They spent a lot of time climbing things; rocks, trees, a statue... climbing, climbing, climbing!

Brian rode a camel!

Eli's favorite was the petting zoo!

Playing at the park

It's nice to be able to walk to a park; we have gone a few times already to the playground.

Eli loves the swings!

The 4 of us trek across the desert (playground).

Christmas 2.0, Phoenix edition

We had another Christmas when we arrived in Phoenix; Eli was SUPER EXCITED to get a Cars duplo set!

Playing with Ye Ye

Brian got some more "big kid" legos that he worked on (with help from Ye Ye) during naptime.

Pretty cool helicopter!
