Christmas in AZ

Joy is putting up Christmas lights in a t-shirt and not having to worry about snow, ice, or bitter cold temps.

Or not even having to wear a shirt.....
Or when your neighbor moves and asks you if you want some furniture for free......

Best Friends

So lucky to have each other.

Out to dinner after getting tired of Thanksgiving leftovers. Tried a new restaurant called Bravi Tuscan Kitchen. Had wood fired pizzas that were ok and the kids had their usual, mac n' cheese. We only go places that serve mac n cheese.

More of Thanksgiving Weekend

Like we do every year after Thanksgiving, we got all the Christmas decoration boxes down and spent a day putting them up and playing Christmas music. Pete found it all to be too much work but Jamie on the other hand loved it!

Friday night we went downtown to Glendale Glitters. Had a great time seeing the lights, paying lots of money for the kids to play on the bouncy things, ate some yummy ice-cream and fought giant crowds of people just to walk around.
