I think we can all agree the best way to start a vacation is a morning run. The earlier the better. On Saturday, Jake didn't exactly share my enthusiasm...

(Don't be fooled though, it was actually 10am! He considered this early because we were still on Alaska time.)
Luckily he warmed up to the idea and we did 8 wonderful miles surrounded by red rocks. A HUGE perk to visiting family? A built in sitter. They practically kick us out of the house so they can hog Gavin. Win-win.
After nap time, Jake, Gavin and I hit the road to run some errands. Note to self: the Saturday before Christmas is not the best day to go shopping. It was madness out there!

Then that night we went to the Live Nativity performance at Tuacan. It was a short, 15 minute show of the nativity of Christ - complete with camels, donkeys, angels, and more! It was a beautiful way to start the final countdown to Christmas. It's so easy to get caught up in the shopping part of Christmas, I loved taking the time to focus on the true reason for the season!
Though it was long past his bedtime, Gavin loved the lights, music, and of course the mandatory 150 pictures I have to take :)
These two.
A wonderful day with some of my favorite people!
