December Update

December included wrapping up our accounting and marketing classes - the accounting final was brutal! Taking G to zoo lights for the first time. He wasn't a big fan of the cold, but loved the choo-choo and the lights! His favorite was the three-dimensional carousel with a bunny, a dinasour, a lion... he sat in its glow and softly said, "oh-woooow" over and over again. So cute! We took a whirlwind trip to Arizona for Megan's graduation that included staying at the "Dude Ranch" and lots of road trips! We flew back from Arizona just in time for the Evosus holiday party! Then went into the holidays! G even had a playdate with Zane! December was quite a busy month complete with great photos!

Arizona Trip & Megan's Graduation

Taking Max to the Airport - G loves the choo-choo!



G got to try Jamba Juice for the first time... Daddy's idea. We were actually tricked into buying Jambas when we got to the airport because we needed food for the plane. Unfortunately we forgot that we weren't through security yet, so we had to drink them fast and dump them! So unfair! We bought them just a few yards from the security screening area!!!The security officer said we could drink them while we waited in line. When he saw Jonathan giving some to G, he said, "you're going to give that baby brain freeze!" That cracked up most of the people in line :)



We spent the first and last nights of our trip at the "Dude Ranch" aka Kyle's dad's house. When we got out of the car, I was amazed at all the stars and told them I felt like a city slicker visiting a dude ranch. That was before I even knew they had mini horses, goats, chickens, and a pig!

G was tuckered out... and was totally off his sleep schedule, poor guy!



We spent a lot of time in the car driving from Scottsdale to Flagstaff and back. Got to see some pretty scenery and G did a great job considering he got much less sleep than normal. Parts of the roadtrip were dry like this and parts were covered in snow!



Congratulations Megan!!!!



G enjoyed cheering on the graduates!



He also enjoyed trying on Grandpa's hat!

After the graduation we got to spend some time with the family.
Here we have four generations of Linch family boys!

G enjoyed romping with Daddy and Cousin Riley



And romping time with Auntie Megan and Cousin Riley



Evosus Holiday Party
We enjoyed another Evosus holiday party at Big Al's. This year G was old enough to enjoy bowling and some games! He tried out whack-a-mole (though I think they were Batman characters) and loved skee ball... since his balls didn't often make it all the way up the ramp, he got to play many more times than the average player :)

G scored a 77 for his first game ever! Go G!

And he loved winning tickets!

Playdate with Zane and Mandi
G enjoyed the chance to meetup with Zane and his mama, Mandi! They played chess, catch with a napkin, and said goodbye with a hug! So darling! It took G a few minutes to warm up, but once he did he had a great time.

Misc December Pics

G decided that recycling makes for fun toys!

Came out of the bathroom to find him greatly amusing himself!

We received our Oregon Du drops and G enjoyed the packaging!
