Snow day at Mother Nature's Farm in Gilbert, Az.

Luke and Santa on the Polar Express

I accidentally put the pics in backward. Below is us waiting at the train station for the Polar Express to get there.

These pics are from yesterday, (Wednesday) on our way back to Phoenix. Hard to believe this is only 2.5 hours from us!!

Above is a pic of my room at work!! This is actually the first time I have ever really "wanted" to go to work!!!! I love it!!!!

Santa came up to school on Saturday. Above is Luke making a Christmas ornament and below is Luke going over his list with Santa. This has just been the best Christmas ever! He is now at the age to really get what is going on and is soooo excited about everything!

Saturday night we went to the Parade of Lights Parade in downtown Phoenix. We got there at 5:30 and did not see the start of the parade until about 8:15! Thank goodness Luke was asleep for the first couple of hours! It was sooooooo amazing to see how excited he was!!!!!! We all had a blast!

On Sunday Juven hung the lights while Luke rode his bike and I helped. We were even more in the Christmas spirit because we had overcast and cool weather.

We will be going on the Polar Express next Tuesday night and then leaving for Texas on Friday for 2 weeks. I am also 99% done with my shopping !!! Much much better and organized than last year!

Here is Luke and his Grandpa shopping in Sedona. Below is me, Grandma, and Luke taking a break and eating pecan turtles. YUMMY!!

This is Luke showing his Grandpa the toys he wants for Christmas that he picked out in the Wal-Mart catalouge. We had a great Thanksgiving! This was the first year I cooked! Grandma helped me, of course, but now I know I could do it if need be. Everything turned out great and we had a ton of food left over. I sure did miss mom, Jennifer , the kids & all the family : (
