We had the most wonderful Christmas in Tucson this year! All the Moeller siblings were there and we partied ALL. WEEK. LONG!
Nate and Spencer and I left Saturday afternoon about 3pm to drive down. We figured we'd stop and sleep party way but try to do most of the driving in the late and early hours while Spencer slept. We decided to take the "shortcut" through Nevada since the weather was supposed to be nice and it would save us an hour or so. Spence did awesome and slept most of the ride. The only time he'd wake up and cry was when we stopped. At one point about 2am we tried stopping in a grocery store parking lot but Spencer cried, it was too bright, and we never could get comfy so off we went. We tag teamed it the whole way down and by the time we reached Phoenix at about 8:30am we were going crazy from lack of sleep, caffeine, and a baby who really didn't want to be in his car seat any longer. We made it to Tucson around 10am and took wonderful showers and got to lay down for a bit. It was the greatest thing ever!
Nate spent the week hiking and hunting and hanging out with the boys. He also had time to make the plaque for his elk antlers to be mounted on. I spent my time hanging out with the girls, shopping, lunch, going to the park, and fighting Spencer to PLEASE sleep!!!
Spencer spent his time NOT sleeping at all and keeping everyone else awake, playing with his cousins, going for walks in the stroller, pushing the girls bikes around on the back patio, wearing Ella's shoes, and eating everything he could. A cute story about them, Spencer LOVED Ella and she was so good to him all week long. When we were at the temple before the sealing we got there before everyone else so we were just walking around looking at all the Christmas lights and decorations the temple still had up. Eventually the Adams walked around the corner as we were walking toward it and Spencer sped up his steps and tried to say "Ella!" and ran to hold her hand. It was adorable!
I was terrible at taking pictures all week long so these are from Pam posting on faebook, but some of our highlights included family pictures, family 5k, Christmas jammies!, getting to be at the temple for the Alldredge sealing, and of course all of Pam's delicious meals! We ate like champions all week long.
We had such a great time having everyone all together and can't wait to do it again!
