Trip to Arizona
We just got back from Arizona last night and we had a blast. It was a little rainy for a few days, but we had fun anyways. We did a lot of swimming at the resort we were at. Elizabeth loves to swim. We also did a lot of driving around to my old areas since this is where I served my mission. Every year they put up a ton of lights at the Mesa Temple grounds so we went down to see that. It was a little rainy that night as you can see. A friend from my mission took us driving through a beautful canyon which was awesome. We also went to the zoo. I really wanted to get pictures of the girls with some cacti. Ivory really got into it, as you can see. Bonnie and Elizabeth are standing in front of a cactus called a saguoro cactus. We also spent a good deal of time visiting with a family I knew from my mission, Dean and Elaine. I baptized Dean 4 years ago (a couple years after my mission). They have been joy to know and I was so happy to have them meet my family. They treated us like royalty like always and we had a wonderful time with them. We loved the weather. When we left Calgary it was -25 and when we got back to Calgary it was -25 while the weather in Arizona was always between 10 and 20 above. We were sad to leave that beautiful weather.

Santa Clause!
Tree is Up
We got the tree up and decorated, also on the first. We decided to just get a little one since it'll only be up a couple weeks. Bonnie haggled the guy at the Kiwanis tree lot down to $10. I guess that's her idea of spreading Christmas cheer. J/K, he didn't have any change or something. The kids loved decorating it, Elizabeth just wasn't a fan of the picture part. Ivory sure was, though!
Biking in December? in Edmonton?
