Merry Christmas!

I remember our first Christmas in Arizona. I couldn't get over the fact that our neighbors hung Christmas lights on their cactus. It felt like a fraud. There was no snow, no caroling out in the cold or snowmen.

I'm over it now! Christmas is Christmas, wherever your family is. We were blessed to spend this Christmas with Dan's parents, 2 sisters and their families here, then we flew to Utah to stay with my family until Jan. 10th....So, it was the best of both worlds! We celebrated Christmas Eve at Holly's in Cave Creek and Christmas afternoon at Kari's in Mesa. We had a very small holiday as a family, but being with everyone we loved was the best gift of all!
