Snow











We rarely get snow in southern Arizona. Maybe once a year and it's usually gone in a few hours. But last night the weather people kept predicting it. I woke up several times last night to the awful wind. Our wind blows here like it could take your house away. I'm always afraid to waking up to half my roof gone. So after waking several times to nothing but wind, I didn't have much hope. But as hubby was getting ready to fly out, he said he had to get moving earlier as it was snowing. I figured some flurries and nothing else. I went back to sleep after he left. I got up a few hours later and found it still snowing and a good amount on the ground. The kids got moving and outside they went. They played for a few hours til it all melted. I think the dog was happy someone was outside with him as well as trying to steal the kids snowballs. lol It's now lunchtime and all our snow is gone except the gorgeous mountains. But I'm glad we got to experience it at least once this winter.

Picture Winter Day 1


After a night of partying and going to bed after 2am, the kids are still fast asleep!!!

Vacation









I never thought there would come a day when I would count down the days for school holidays and vacations. Christmas means that we don't have to get up early for two weeks and that we can sleep in!!! It also means pj days and just doing nothing. And this year has been extra nice because hubby had 10 days off as well!!! We went to NM for a few days and the rest we have been watching movies, playing games and hanging out. Here a few photos from the past few days. It's sad to say that this is all coming to an end very soon!!! While I crave structure to our days and actually knowing what day of the week it is, I will soon be counting down the days to Spring Break!

Day 18


Once a year we head out to our Christmas party. This is our one time a year to dress up and go out. We laugh, dance, and enjoy each other. These are our dear friends who have been going with us for 8 years!!!!

Day 10


I have always wanted a two story house just so I could wrap lighted garland around the banister. It brings a smile to my face every night!

Day 8


This is one of my favorite paintings in my house. Tonight I couldn't help but notice the stunning image of our tree.

Day 6


I usually shower at night, but didn't happen last night. I usually am freezing in the morning, but was so in love with the wonderful sunlight pouring in my small window in the shower. It was something so small, but something wonderful on a cold morning.

Day 5


Tonight my view was of the kids putting on the last of the decorations. It was wonderful to have it done and knowing they had fun.

Day 4


Hot cocoa is the key to staying warm during the Christmas parade. It really wasn't that cold, but there is just something about cocoa during the holiday season!

Day 3


One of the kids left their sticky hand on the couch. I was so surprised by the heart!
