Where will you spend the holidays this year?
We like to stay at home over the holidays. It is a great time for all of us to be together. Our oldest son, who is a junior at the United States Air Force Academy, will be home with all of us.

What are your annual holiday traditions? 
Every year, Beau and one of our boys enter the Phoenix Country Club Father/Son Holiday Golf Tournament. It is a special time for the two of them with a great deal of anticipation and planning on how to win. Last year, Beau and Cooper came home with a trophy and we all cheered the big win!

Most memorable holiday moment from past years?
Four years ago, we were so blessed with the honor of being the new parents of a beautiful 9-month-old baby girl from China. Our most memorable holiday moment was the first Christmas Whitney was with us. She had just turned a year old and the boys worked very hard to make sure she was walking. We were all so happy that season.

Do you host any favorite holiday parties?
Each year, we open our home for an E. B. Lane holiday staff party. What a great time to relax and celebrate the season together.

Favorite Christmas tree decoration?
Our Christmas tree is decorated with dozens of handmade ornaments that our children have made through the years. They are special to us because each of our kids remembers when and where their ornaments were made.
