Happy New Year!

It has been a whirlwind holiday season! Mara was working A LOT to cover people on vacation and leave so we have a somewhat unorthodox xmas. Rohan had lots of stocking stuffers leading up to xmas day and since Mara had to work we ended up doing a gift opening xmas eve. Rohan LOVED all his gifts! Seriously, there wasn't a single one he didn't like. By far his favorites were the Legos and sports equipment from everyone.

We took time to head up to Flagstaff and sled with friends we met through TBall/Daycare. Rohan had a blast going down and was a trooper climbing up the hill every time. We even went on the “big kid” hill which Rohan wanted to go down more and more. Mara did have some time off with some luck and schedule switching. She had 6 days off in the middle of the week! Unheard of! Luckily I had some vacation time left to burn so we took a lot of the week of Rohan’s birthday off together.

Besides a fun New Years with our neighbors and friend’s parties, we took a trip to the Tucson Air Museum. They had TONS of planes in hangers and hundreds on their grounds. It was a gorgeous day to wander and let Rohan explore this kid wonderland. My favorite (and therefor Rohan’s favorite) was the SR-71 Blackbird. An absolutely gorgeous plane and modern engineering feat. I’ve been wanting to see one since I was Rohan’s age! Couple that with seeing the Space Shuttle a month ago and my inner 5yr old is ecstatic!

For Rohan’s birthday day we went to a trampoline place with his friend Owen for a couple hours, then to a park for TBall and Soccer. They were worn out (Owen more than Rohan though…:P)
The day after his birthday we had a picnic at the train park in Scottsdale…one of Rohan’s favorites. We had a good turnout of friends…it’s funny what Rohan’s parites look like. There were a couple friends his age, but also a lot of single people we climb with who adore him…

All in all a great holiday season. We hope everyone had a great one as well, and wish you a Happy New year!
