Merry pre-Christmas with the Cannons

Grandpa time

Ben and I just spent the past week in El Paso with my parents and all three of my siblings. It was fantastic to have all of us in the same town for a while!

Ben is starting to pay attention to what's outside the plane window

Think constant house party with around-the-clock dance powwows and perpetual toddler entertainment. Ben has the best family. Just saying.
