The Carlson Family: Christmas in Arizona!

It was so wonderful to be able to celebrate Christmas with John's family in AZ. Nikki and Brandon were amazing hosts! It was a perfect vacation. Very relaxing, and surrounded by loved ones. Jack and Kaylee get along flawlessly. It is truly amazing. We all hope to be able to get them together more often. She is hysterical! And Jack plays so nicely with her. They literally never fought! Well, they did like to steal each other's water bottle and snacks :) One thing they definitely had in common was loving their snacks! (which is evident in many pictures :) One day we went to a place called Jump Street. The whole place is made of trampolines and other areas to run and jump on! Jack looooooved it! And Daddy and Uncle Dude got into it too. You should have seen Daddy do flips! Not bad for an old man :) Jack did so well on the plane too! We talked about it a lot the week before. He kept calling it "Jack's plane". All planes are now apparently "Jack's plane" :) On the way there, a nice woman switched seats with John so that the 3 of us could sit together. He did not nap until we were in our final decent:) but other than that he was great! Poor guy was sick the whole time we were there. In fact, the flu was passed around. Luckily Jack's virus wasn't too bad. The 3 of us bunked together, so John and I got to witness Jack talking in his sleep :) "P is for Papa" "VV baseball" and other topics he is an expert of :)
