And our special visitors were......

....... My dad and brothers!!!  As an early Christmas present, my parents gave Jake and Cam each tickets to go to the Monday Night NFL football game between the Cardinal's and 49er's which just so happened to take place 15 minutes from our house!! It was a surprise and they didn't find out about it until just a few days before, which is why I couldn't release their names (in case they just so happened to read my blog, which I doubt they ever do, but I just had to be safe!).  So they got to miss a few days of school, fly down to warm(er than Utah) Arizona, go to the game and spend the next day with me and Brody.  Could there be a better Christmas present for two teenage boys?  I think not.  Plus, it was sort of a present for me as well, since I got to miss a day and a half of work and hang out with the fam.

They got in on Monday around 4 and just had time to drop off their stuff and get a quick snack at our house before I dropped them off at the game.  They were gone most of the night so while they were away, I made cookies and had dinner and watched a movie with Brod for his birthday (which was that day).

On Tuesday, we slept in, had breakfast, went to the mall, had lunch, went rock climbing, had dinner, played a game, watched a movie and had popcorn and orange julius's.  I meant to take more pictures, but it just slipped my mind, so I only got some of rock climbing (well I got lots, actually).  So if you're real bored, take a look.....

Jake
Even dad took a turn! (I was impressed)




They left early Wednesday morning (by early I mean 5:00 AM) so it was just a quick little trip but still a lot of fun.  Short but sweet!!  It was great to have them here and I'm glad they could stay with us for a few nights.

hurray for all your new posts! I've been waiting! Sorry I'm not going to comment on all of them. Thanks for taking such good care of Dad and the boys during their fun adventure. They all had a great time. Love all your pictures of your recent happenings. You're right- I did love seeing all your Christmas decorations! Love Brodys BD banner and cake. I love the Mesa temple lights- they are soooo pretty! I'm glad you've been having so many fun things to keep you busy- and it won't even be a let down after Christmas is over and you go back to AZ since I will be coming to visit a few days later!

We had such a great time. Thank you so much for taking time off work and hanging out with us and for doing so much for us. It wouldn't have been near as much fun without you two. We loved it. Thanks again sweetie!
