Our Christmas Trip!

We love taking a family vacation between Christmas and New Years, and this year we have rented a home in Mesa, Arizona. We love having the family around and enjoying warmer weather.

The Madsen Christmas Party

For many years, our Christmas celebrations have included the Madsen Family Party held annually at Academy West, Pat's gym. This year, the number of attendees was higher than average. It was great to see everyone and have the chance to get caught up.

Mom and Amy's baby, Josie. Mom calls her "Little Jo" because she doesn't like the name "Josie".

An annual favorite is the foam pit!
