AZ Christmas

Just terrible! It's been almost two weeks since my last post. Sorry about that... been feeling lazy and laid back here in sunny Arizona. I think it hit 80 degrees on Christmas day--hotter than a Seattle summer.

My mom and I went to see a bunch of luminaries at the Desert Botanical Garden the first night I flew in. They also had some nice bands (including a sweet 20-person bell choir) and wine tasting. Here's some handy-dandy pictures (luminaries are old-school Christmas lights... a candle in a paper bag with sand to weight it).
