Arizona Holidays
















The family took off for their annual trip to Arizona on December 9th. I joined them on the 21st. After a week of adjusting to the time zone changes, we were back to regular Arizona life. The family visits on Christmas Day was a challenge - 10am at the Grammy & Papa's, 2pm at Grandma Sandy's and 5pm at Grandma Norris. It was fun, but felt rushed as we were always running late trying to get to the next place.

Bremen raked in the gifts, as usual. Now we have to decide what stays in Arizona and what gets brought back with us to Slovakia. With a limit of two bags per person and 50 pounds per bag, some stuff is staying here.

Temperatures in Slovakia currently range from 23-28 degrees, compared to the 70 degrees we plan to hit this week here. Notice the short sleeves on Bremen at his Grandparents house. New Years Day was spent learning to clean/ride horses and playing with Arizona "snowballs".

Christmas in the desert. Nothing better. Did you show him how to make a tumbleweed snowman?

No, Teresa, have Kevin make him a big snowman out of the "Arizona snowballs." In fact, I'd like to watch that!!

I love that you have Bremen on a horse already. I want to find someone who will teach Addie how to ride.

Bremen is so cute. Having a kid that age makes Christmas so much fun.

I think I'd talke the weather in Slovakia over the weather here. It doesn't seem like Christmas when it's 70 degrees and sunny.

You are such a great mom!

Your playlist is sooo good. I think you should be in charge of the music at my 80's birthday party this year!
