Christmas in Arizona

This post is sooo last year, but I thought I'd go ahead and do it anyway.  So after Christmas I lost my phone for almost a month!  Boy, I was so relieved when it was finally found!  But I'm just now getting around to blogging about Christmas....

We went to Arizona for Christmas break, scary snow covered roads for 5 or 6 hours of the trip down, only to arrive in Arizona with warm weather and oranges on the trees.  I don't know how old I'll be before that transition ceases to amaze me!!  There is only 1 state that separates Idaho and Nevada but what a world of difference.  :)

Here is a random assortment of memories from our vacation: our favorite hike to the little waterfall in the White Tanks, (we had 12 kids in the car to get there!)
playing on the bike ramp in Aunt Ammanda's awesome back yard (zip line, trees, bike ramps, chickens-- we love our cousin's backyard!)
lights at the Mesa Arizona Temple,
and the Christmas Eve nativity with our cousins.
