Christmas in Phoenix
We are in Phoenix for Christmas and enjoying the BEAUTIFUL weather! It has been a joy to sit and relax and do NOTHING... We are spending quality time with family and friends. We have six bags with us and we are going to have to bring them both down to 2 carry-ons. YIKES!

Travelling alone with kids
... just newborns. It was too small for me to change Ellie in there, let alone Sydney! So I don't know if it was the fact that it was such tight quarters, or the smell or what, but I have NEVER seen Ellie react to anything like that before. Screaming blue murder. Wow. And for some reason the whole flight she went through a crazy amount of diapers. It was weird. Point being, I had to keep going in there by with her. Then Sydney, who is a total ...
