Phoenix Trip December 2011

 Josh and I had the opportunity to go to Phoenix for his Arizona branch Christmas party (we got to do the same thing last year).  It was so much fun to take a little trip for a couple of days together.  We got there Wednesday night and drove into Scottsdale on a quest to find a fun place to eat that we couldn't find in Utah (when we are out of town we tend to go to the same places we go to in Utah).  We found this amazing little restaurant in Fashion Square called Marcellino Ristorante for some heavenly Italian food (my very favorite).  It was also very awesome that our gelato we had for dessert came out on fire (food on fire is always fun). 
 Also close to our hotel was a Sprinkles cupcake shop.  I am a huge fan of cupcakes and from what I had heard Sprinkles cupcakes were THE BEST. 
 My friend Ashleigh, who is one of my favorite people, lives in the Phoenix area, and we headed to Sprinkles to catch up and eat some of the most amazing cupcakes I have ever eaten in my life.  I had the peppermint cupcake and it was like eating a little slice of heaven.
 Love this girl, and I don't get to see her enough!
 Later that night we met up with Josh's Arizona office and ate at California Pizza Kitchen (one of my favorites) and then headed to Dave and Busters for the funnest night!  Josh was very patient with me as we played Madden Football (I stink).
 Josh always loves the football games (and I always love watching him play the football games)  We played a lot of ski ball and I got a jackpot one time, that was pretty crazy...
 This huge Pacman was our favorite game of the night.  It was so much fun!
 The next day we went Christmas shopping and I took Josh back to Sprinkles (we love cupcakes okay?)  We ended up going a bit crazy!  We bought a dozen cupcakes (the boys had to try these!) and got to try all of the good ones (strawberry is amazing!).  We even bought some mix to make up when we get home (and of course I am wearing the high bun again...but this is the same day as the Savior of the World post below).
Lets get another picture of that...Later that day we headed to the airport to head home to go to "Savior of the World" with Palmer and my MIL.  It was such a fun trip!
