We had an awesome 2 day vacation in the desert on Christmas.  We decided to upgrade last minute to a suite so that Jordan and Eli could sleep in their own room.  Well worth it!

Eli spent much of the trip practicing his walking, which was new to him at the time.

We stopped at the Dinosaur museum on the way.

And Eli had his first In N Out burger! yum!

The room and the view in the hotel were awesome

Huge balcony

Jordan and Eli are now having lots of fun playing together

Uh oh, is this the beginning of a Jordan-like car obsession?  No, Eli doesn’t get obsessed with toys like Jordan does/did

Fun!

We had a great outing to the Children’s museum nearby.  They had a fun pizza making station, grocery store, and car painting

And we went for an evening trip to the zoo where they had lights up for Christmas

And last, we stopped for a hike at an Indian reservation:

Pictures from Hanukkah are way overdue.  We hosted the first night:

And then we got to enjoy it everywhere else
