Christmas 2011

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

I'll start by saying sorry so late "Better late than never"


Well, it was our first Christmas in Arizona.  It was a little different being so far away from family, but we made it work.  The weather was absolutely gorgeous, which was really nice, but didn't really feel like Christmas.  Even though the house was (and still is) not ready, we were able to decorate it just right for Christmas.  It was so nice for Crystal and Maddox to come visit and spend our first Christmas in Phoenix with us.  We had a great time together, showing them around, shopping and sight-seeing.  The kids were good this year, so Santa definitely paid a visit to our house!  We hated to be so far away from family this year, so we promise it will be different next year!  Either we will come your way, or we will host here in The Valley of the Sun!




Merry Christmas Phoenix style!!

Fountain Hills 
The centerpiece of Fountain Hills is a beautiful fountain; one of the tallest man-made fountains.
The fountain reaches 330 feet.  On special occasions, it will shoot over 500 feet.
