Christmas 2018 - Tucson, AZ

Christmas 2018 - Tucson, AZ

Our Christmas began with a week at the Carotenuto's watching over Evangeline and Abigail while Sarah & Vince took a trip to Cancun.  

Unicorn Man was a hit

with the girls and their friends

from the apt. complex!

Then tickets to see the Nutcracker
in downtown Tucson.  The ballet
troupe was from E & A's ballet class.
For 2 1/2 hrs. the girls were spell-
bound.

Making Christmas food - pigs in a blanket!

Wayne began his Christmas
vacation by having surgery on his hand,
a ruptured thumb tendon.

First day of the last week of school of spirit week.
It was jingle bell day!

We dropped the kids off at school and then we met 2 other couples at OINK - our favorite breakfast restaurant.  Far end, the Ellis's, front of table - the Cox's.

The girls agreed to having their hair trimmed -
beauty parlor day!

Another spirit day - Christmas hats!

G'pa gets permanent cast -
Orange & blue -
Go Gators!

On our way to Winterhaven to view Christmas
lights we witnessed a horrific accident.

Christmas lights are always special.

And of course - a selfie!

Another spirit day - Pajama Day!

Back at the Big Bus before Mom & Dad
get back - tea party again!

G'parents won!  Only took 5 min!

The Reason for the Season.

A special Christmas Dinner at the John Fieler's house.
Rebecca made a special treat for the kids,
a Christmas tree made out of kiwi
and pomegranate seeds!

Off to downtown Tucson to the
Children's Museum with Philip,
Amanda & Lilly. Notice the

all her friends.

And what would Christmas be without
Ricky the PackRat in Grannie's
sock drawer?!!!

It was an eventful Christmas.  Taking care of kids, visiting museums, birthday party, cooking, eating, reminiscing, fellowshipping, dinner at the John Fieler's, Christmas lights, the Nutcracker and even a witness of a car wreck!  Whew, I am tired just writing about it.  But then there was Ricky the PackRat.  We picked him up at McNeal, caught him while in Benson, and drove him to his new home in the desert between Tombstone & St. David!  What a nuisance, but he did love my sock drawer.  Still have not found the 2 traps he set off!  Amazing animals but they cannot share my RV with me.  

Now off to McNeal AZ again to work January 2019.  We will be joining the McClinticks and the Brooks.............stay tuned..........2019 will be another adventurous year.
