Pinetop: Friday and Saturday

I was almost ready to leave work on Thursday evening when the top of my big cup of water came off and I dumped a huge amount of liquid on top of my laptop. 

Nobody was left on campus, so I had to fret about it all night, worried that I had fried the hard drive and lost all of my work.

I went to work on Friday morning and immediately called it in to IT.

Waiting for them to arrive. 
I had killed the keyboard, but the hard drive was OK, so they put it into another laptop and I was good to go.
After we were all home from work and school, we packed, loaded up, drove to Mesa, ate dinner, and then drove to Pinetop. 
Josh and Laura had left their Christmas decorations up, so we had a lovely tree to see when we pulled into their driveway. 

We all got there really late (past 10 pm), so we unpacked, got the kids to bed, and then adults hung out while kids slept.

On Saturday morning Josh and Michael had a really serious conversation with each other.  Apparently. 

Laura and I went out to brunch, and then to the movies. 

And then after the movie we went for cocktails.  And then cocktails became boozy coffee and boozy hot chocolate. 



Once we got back home we took the kids outside to play.  And by that, I mean, they played in the snow and we watched from the porch. 









Laura made us boozy hot chocolates in travel cups, 

And we went on a family walk. 




I had to sit by the fire with some wine to warm up after.  It was below 40 degrees when we were out there. 

Lasagna, salad, and bread for dinner. 
Elliott asked if he could have a candle for his ice cream, and somehow that turned into us singing happy birthday to each kid individually. 

We put the kids to bed and then the adults were watching TV in Josh and Laura's room.  Josh fell asleep. 

We may or may not have been making fun of him and harassing him in his sleep.
