December in AZ

Here I am again neglectful of the blog... no excuses, just life. Noah's birthday sleepover, Oma and Opa came for Thanksgiving and BAM! now it's December 9th.

It's kind of hard for me to get in the Christmas frame of mind when it's so sunny and not very cold. Even after 3 years I still can't quite get December and January in the desert Southwest. Oh, I am thankful for it in February when you really want winter to be done! I do miss the excitement and anticipation of that first big snow storm... oh well we got a humdinger of a rain storm the other day so that made my heart happy!

The presents are bought, I made some cookies, now for the Christmas letter (which I was going to write but it turned into a blog session instead), a few parties, Christmas Eve Eve service (not a typo), and a night of driving around looking at lights! Then we can go on vacation and head North to Colorado and hopefully *fingers crossed* some snow!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! I might not write again until 2010 at this rate : )

  1. snow we got ,but if you want winter then how about -21 yesterday morning and -12 today and going there again tonight with wind chills in the -20's and -30's . Don't want to ruin your Christmas but hope it's alot more temperate when you come. Maybe a little snow and alot of food. Can't wait to see you guys! Dad
