Christmas 2007

We spent a wonderful few days in Arizona at my Mom’s house in Scottsdale with my sister Laura, her husband Rob, and their 7-year old son Will.  Highlights included brunch with my high school friends and their families, feeding Claire her first “solid” food using the Texas-themed bib Laura & Rob gave her, dinner at a fun Mexican restaurant, Claire trying on a cute pink dress that was mine when I was a baby, continuing a twenty-year tradition of homemade Chex mix, lots of fun presents for the kids including castle sets both for Will and for Claire, and Stu and I sneaking out for a really good movie.
