Merry Christmas!!

Wishing you all a Merry Merry Christmas. We are in Phoenix to help Mike's mom move into a new apartment and to spend Christmas with the kids who are in the area! I wish you were all here!
We love you and miss you, especially during this season of hope and joy.

Christmas in the Southwest

Christmas is coming--today was the first really cold day. (I know, cold is relative!)

The full nine foot Southwest Christmas tree. This is what you get in the desert!

I cut down three agave stalks that grew up during the Spring in our yard. Then I cut about six feet off of the fullest stalk, (yes, this one has the most arms and seed pods) put it in a bucket and brought in our "fresh", "live" tree. It was fun to decorate, took very few ornaments, but I still have to figure out the lights!

Merry Christmas, yee haw, y feliz Navidad to y'all.

Instant Christmas!

Well, I got out the tree, popped it out of its tube and set it up. I had forgotten just how small it is. I guess I'll go ahead and get out the regular old tree that I love decorating!

But until then here's a little Christmas cheer!
