Christmas Day dinner at The Burris House

After our own Sparks Christmas, we head down to Tucson to be with my family.  This year it was just my sister Jenni and her 2 girls, Ava & Sophia.  Rob was with his in-laws and Bryanee was with her in-laws and Mom.  The cousin love each other so much and rarely get to see each other.  They loved opening presents for the 3rd time and getting more awesome stuff.  This year I got the best present from Lala & Pops, a new iPad, all to myself.  

 Love our Auntie H

 Love my Grandma

 They all got new iPod touches.  Downloading games was the hit of the night.

My parents made the best Christmas dinner yet.  They truly are the best.

Santa came to The Sparks house last night!

Santa came, boys must have been perfect this year to get all this loot!

Holy presents.  Guns, airplanes, helicopters, RC buggies, iPods, Leap Pads, play dough, games, board games, clothes, doctors kit, money machines, play kitchen, fire hats, glow toys, and on... and on...
There is one huge present in the back that Kolby and the boys bought for me.  Not only did I get a Lulu giftcard, but I got the amazing Canon Rebel camera with all the bells and whistles.  I must have been very good to Santa this year!

I LOVE to see their sweet faces when they see all the presents Santa brought them.  Rowan was so fun about making sure we had cookies & milk out for Santa.  I love watching Christmas movies all month with these kids.  It was another great Christmas with these boys.  So grateful for all the presents we could buy each other.  So grateful for all the love and joy we have.

We wish you a Merry Christmas

Merriest Christmas.  Our most favorite Holiday.  These Sparks boys go crazy for Santa.

 Temple Lights, family night tradition.

 Christmas Eve at Nana & Papa Sparks.  Tradition to open presents and eat Manuels.  Best Christmas Eve yet!

Desert Botanical Gardens. Las Noches de las Luminaries

My Mom really wanted to go see the Luminaries event at the Desert Botanical Gardens.  I had never been and Mom wanted to treat us!  She brought our Auntie H.  We enjoyed the beautiful desert landscape, music, lights, caroling, family, and cold!

Love these crazy cousins.

Thanksgiving Weekend in Tucson

We love to stay the weekend in Tucson, I love it there.  We stayed at the Hilton El Conquistador behind my parents house.  The kids love it there.  Best pool.  My parents got us a suite, 2 big bedroom, full living room, kitchen, it was great.

 

 Seriously love this photo.  Fun family rivals.  House divided.  ASU vs. UA.  The only game we go to all year.  New family tradition.

 Cutest split family photo.  People loved this on our walk from the tailgate to the stadium.

 Palmer fell asleep through all the crazy noise!
