buena vista christmas

It is SO great to be in Colorado for the holidays!  We love our life in Arizona, but Colorado is still home.


We went for a leisurely hike up Midland trail.  5 adults.  5 dogs.  It was so much fun!



We lined up the dogs for a little race.  Look at who finished first!  And, while he is more...uh, streamlined and aerodynamic...check out who finished last, despite a valiant attempt.

a newlywed christmas

It has been a sunny and beautiful December in the Christmas capitol of Arizona!  And, while it is hard to get into the Christmas spirit when the daily highs are in the upper 60s, admittedly we are enjoying not having to scrape snow off our cars or having to bundle up to go outside.

On one such beautiful afternoon, we decorated our Christmas tree...

The tree turned out very newlywed-esque, in that all of our ornaments scantly decorated only about 1/3 of the tree.  It is still cute, though, and adds some holiday cheer to our home!

This past Friday we went to "Acker Night" in downtown Prescott (check out www.ackershowcase.com) .  This is an awesome annual tradition where over 100 downtown businesses around the Courthouse Plaza each feature a musician.  We met up with our friends Jessica and Andy and walked from business to business to hear a variety of holiday music.   From a steel drum band to bluegrass to classic rock to blues, it was a blast listening to such a wide array of talented musicians.  And the Courthouse Plaza was decorated amazingly!

What a fun night!
