Sunset in Globe.
Globe, Arizona that is. For any who've either never been or heard of this town, it is simply a tiny mining town a bit over an hour outside of Pheonix. We went to visit Corey's parents for the Thanksgiving holiday. It was only the second roadtrip we've taken with the boys and they did surprisingly well. Thanks to a lot of naps by Beckett (okay, he did scream a little) and hours of DVD's for Asher, all was pleasant. I sometimes wonder what in the world families did before movies in the car. Scary!
Thanksgiving day was nice, and the food was delish! We drove to "the valley" a couple of times and put in some shopping time and way too much eating time. Corey went to High School in Gilbert, AZ, so he had a few things he wanted to do/eat while he was there (Mesa Temple Christmas lights, and Nielson's Frozen Custard, mmm). Pheonix was a sizzling 81 degrees the day after Thanksgiving!! And we hit snow on the drive home, go figure.
Asher's favorite pastime over the weekend...playing with the gates.
Taking an after dinner walk on Thanksgiving.
Since we've been home, we caught up and put up our Christmas tree! Asher is really excited about everything this year...so fun! Less than 24 hours after we put out all the Christmas decor, Asher had broken two ornaments, and flattened a decorative sled (he sat on it...whoops).
I cannot believe December is actually here and that Christmas is coming so quick. I'm hoping to have all my shopping done by this weekend, so we can all really enjoy the rest of it all. Woooeeee! Time sure flies!
P.S. Couldn't resist posting this. This picture is from a recent visit to the zoo...we now have an adorable baby elephant!

Beckett looks so big! We can't wait to see you guys :) Glad to see you survived the road trip. They can be pretty unpredictable sometimes!
Yes we have no ornaments on the bottom 2 feet of the tree. Ella hasn't quite mastered the look but don't touch concept yet.
Right about now, I would love a day with 80 degree weather! Glad to hear you had a great Thanksgiving.
P.s. Daisy is soo cute!
So I'm a little behind on reading your blog, but WHAT?! You guys were in town and we didn't even know?? It's okay; I'm sure you were SO busy with family who don't get to see you very often. We won't hold it against you.:) It looks like you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas, so that's great. Thanks for the Christmas card!
