We had a pretty busy schedule while they were here. John and Bill played several rounds of golf (John even broke 100 in one of them!!), so while they were doing that Aurelia and I entertained the boys. Aurelia came with me to MOPS and really enjoyed it. The kids did a little Christmas show for us, singing Jingle Bells. It was so cute! Here's Will and his friend Josh standing in front of him:
We also took the boys to see Santa. Will wrote a letter to Santa asking for roller skates, and grandma had the clever idea to trace his feet on the back of the letter so he'd know what size skates to leave for Will. I was kind of worried because last year Will was pretty scared of Santa, but he was so excited this year.
The boys with Bill and Aurelia before we left for the mall:

Miles wasn't overly excited about Santa:
When Will and I (oh, and Miles was there) were at Trader Joe's the week before Bill and Aurelia came to visit, we picked up a gingerbread house kit to make with grandma while she was here. Will had a lot of fun, but he wanted to eat the candy as we were going and was very impatient waiting for Daddy and P-Bill to get home from golf so he could start eating it.
Will and Grandma, hard at work:
Will and the finished product:

We also went to Desert Breeze Park in Chandler to ride the train. We've only ever gone to the Scottsdale train park but wanted to try this one, and I needed to meet my friend Michele for something, so it worked out great to go there. It was fun, but Will said he likes the usual one better.
The boys' baptism and our Christmas celebration will have to wait...I'm tired of updating.
