Friends and little friends

Ah, the Christmas trip home. Too many people to see and not enough to see them all. As usually, my trip to visit my parents was a flurry of activity and there are friends that I would have liked to see, but it just didn't happen. Sad.

BUT, there are some friends who I did get to see and that makes me more than happy! There was a way-too-short mini Christmas Chaos, which was much less chaotic than our usually Christmas Chaos because Brian is in Japan and Adam usually visits between Christmas and New Years. C'est la vie. We still managed to take the obligatory monkey arms photo

and ... put things on our head ... ?

('tis the nature of Chaos ... moving on ... )

Sierra and I were also happy we were able to spend some time with Casey and Colton. I told you about Casey back in May, and I must admit, it's really fun to have a friend (a few, actually) I've known most of my life who has a little one around the same age as Sierra.

Sierra and Colton ran up and down the hall together
and even shared their toys. Can you feel the love?
We also managed to have a lunch date with Liz, Jeff and Ellie, who we last saw back in June on our Smoky Mountain camping trip. We met at Happy Joe's for taco pizza. Never had a pizza with taco chips, tomatos, lettuce, and sour cream? Well, let me tell you, you are missing out! So the pizza was enjoyable, as was the company ... not so enjoyable? Sierra's mood. No idea why she was such a cranky-pants, but that's what we had to deal with that day, so lunch probably ended sooner than it would have had we been able to linger and chat. Ah, well. Sierra and Ellie did enjoy watching the pizza guy make the pies. And it must be great to be 1 because games are fun even when just push the button and don't even play them!
We had a super-quick, way-too-short visit with Monica, and her little one, Abbie, who I hadn't met yet. I don't feel so bad about the brevity of that visit though, because Sierra and I get to stay with Monica, Mark and Abbie when we visit Phoenix in January! Yay!!
