With it being so chilly here this summer, I must admit that I really miss the warmth and humidity of the monsoons in Arizona this time of year, and most of all, the sky. Especially during a storm, the Arizona sky looks like it’s on fire. So many purples and pinks. It’s beautiful. If you’ve never seen an Arizona sunset, you really need to.
We’ve kicked off the holiday season with some fun activities lately! It smells like Christmas here in Arizona and I love it.
Tree lighting @ the Scottsdale Biltmore:
Movie in the Park @ the Biltmore – movie was Christmas Vacation:
Decorated Gingerbread houses with the fam:
Ours in the middle with the blackberry bushes, whipped cream snow and dog houses won 1st place!
Look at this soup that Rob’s Grandma Margie made. It involved mussels, crab, shrimp, and scallops – all of which I love. I hope they serve this in heaven!!!!!
Started the next book in my book club – The Christmas List:
And I almost bought one of these tonight at Fresh and Easy. Might go back next week and get one, and some cranberries, too!
What are you guys doing to get in the holiday spirit??
