Merry Christmas all! Now that we are home and beginning to overcome our sleep deprivation, I'll fill you in on our Arizona capers. Be warned: there are way too many pictures, because even after a year of Morgan photography, I still can't narrow them down.
There was cousin bonding time:
An early morning sibling hike with no babies...
My jacket has reflector strips in the flash - awesome
Erik the giant: The tallest thing to ever happen to my family.
Eating and dancing at a true western bar in the desert. There were great ribs, a live country band who fell in love with Morgan and brought her to the attention of the whole bar, and a lot of drunk cowboys/girls who had never seen a baby there before. Morgan got mauled, and if there were such a thing as second hand alcohol, she would have it.
Dancing with Grandpa and her sippy
Caroling to the neighbors in Santa hats. Our 8-member choir was dang good. We even had 4 parts going. I think we might get requests next year.
Christmas lights at the Mesa Temple:
Morgan was in heaven
Erik got jealous of my brother Ben's luscious locks:
Some hot tubbing:
Picking oranges in a nearby grove:
Christmas morning:
And after much struggle and contention, the first complete family picture in 4 years:
Our favorite gift on Christmas Day:
Not pictured: lots of shopping, eating of naughty food, and daily bike rides to work off said food.
I'm exhausted. See you next year.

Very cute, love all the photos! Happy New Year Merkley family.
I probably say this every time, but that's because I only get on every few months! :) But Morgan is getting so big!!! And now starting to walk too! Looks like you had lots of fun for the holidays. Glad to hear things are going well! Miss ya!
Eric, you really look ENORMOUS in that photo. (in a good, friendly giant kind of way) So funny! It looks like you had a great holiday, Merry Christmas!
Awwhh. Miss you guys!
