Brrrr....... suddenly 26 degrees seems very cold! Spent 2 1/2 days in Arizona which seemed so warm! It was funny that we were one of the few people in shorts as they thought it was cold. Got to spend as much time with Jennifer as we could. Enjoyed a birthday brunch on Staurday. It was the first birthday we spent together in years.

This afternoon I am flying to Phoenix to see my daughter! My husband has to attend a conference in the city where she is studying for her PhD. I am so glad I was able to get a few days off from work to head out there too. Looking forward to warm weather and no snow. Just hoping today's weather does not interfere with the flights.

So Thanksgiving has come and gone. It did not seem like a holiday because Jennifer was not home with us. She is at grad school in Arizona and could not make the trip. Luckily she has friends and family close by so she was not alone. Even Rob said he missed her! And we are postponing the annual Christmas tree hunt until she gets home.

Loved the berries showing through.

Started snowing at 10 am this morning and by the time I headed home from work we had 3 inches. It looks so pretty but I so hate to drive in it.

According to my husband this is a bad time of year - the golf season has ended and we have no snow so cross country skiing cannot start. What is a guy to do! On the other hand, I need to start cleaning for Thanksgiving. It will bejust us but I still need to get rid of some of the dust and vacuum the carpets. Jennifer will not be home for Thanksgiving which will seem so strange.
I am thankful she is enjoying her days at Arizona State Unviersity.

I do not want to end the tradition of photos with Santa just because the kids are grown up. We hated the ahssles of the mall, though so I bought a Santa suit and now we do them at home. This tree is made of circles - a challenge on Scrapfriendzy.
