Christmas: Part I

 We had a very nice Christmas weekend here in Phoenix before we hopped on a plane and headed to WI. Max made all of his grandparents homemade cocoa bombs. This was harder to do than we thought, but Max did a fantastic job and five of them turned out great that he could gift to his grandparents.


We went to Top Golf with one of Max's buddy's and his parents. We enjoyed the night of golfing and laughter. Max had to golf wearing a Santa hat to be festive. It was raining this night so at times we were hitting balls when it was pouring out. 





We decorated two gingerbread houses. Max decided to make it a competition, him and Andy against me. We had a lot of fun that night. 





Christmas Eve, we went to see Wonka at the movies. I thought the movie was good but not as good as I was expecting it to be. 



We had our annual Christmas dinner at home with steak and king crab legs and chocolate fondue for dessert. 



We tracked Santa on the Norad app before we headed to bed for the early arrival of Santa. Max was a good boy this year because he got an electric scooter and an iPhone from Santa. He was beyond excited because he didn't think he would get a phone. He's been asking for it for at least the last year. He's the only one of his friends that doesn't have one. Ugh! Now we have a cell phone holding 10 year old in the house. 









After presents, we headed off to the airport to see family in WI. We surprised Max with first class seats. He was so excited. He has been asking to fly first class for a while. He wanted to see what it would be like to fly first class. Now that he knows he doesn't think he can fly any other way. He was thrilled that his glass of apple juice kept being refilled by the flight attendant because in economy you only get one glass of juice. I completely understand kid. First class is the place to be!
