Back Home Again...

Our trip to Arizona was absolutely beautiful! I love it out west. The mountains and the canyons and the desert- they're breath taking, really. HOWEVER...I don't know how those of you who fly often with babies do it. I really don't. Lily is the best baby, but she turned into a little devil girl on the plane! She cried for about an hour straight, and I literally wanted to die. A lovely grandmother we had gotten chatty with in the terminal even came up and asked if she could try to calm her down. AND I handed Lily over. To a stranger. That's how bad it was! I figured she couldn't go far with her. :)

Anyway, that being said, it was nice to get away and have a change of scenery. But, I'm totally behind now in getting ready for Christmas. We made a little gingerbread house tonight - one of my favorite things to do! :) But, the presents aren't all wrapped - heck, the presents aren't all bought. So, I've got to get on that!

I'm really looking forward to catching up with blogs - it's been almost two weeks! Hope all is well and that your holiday preparations are going better than mine are. Anyone else a procrastinator? :)
I'll leave you with a few of my favorite AZ pictures...and then with my new favorite of Lily in her winter hat. She's too much! :)

That hat!!! I love it!!

Sorry about the airplane ride. Ew. Airplanes. I don't blame Lily one bit! I would cry and scream, too, if it was socially acceptable.

Glad your trip was nice, though. Hope you're ready soon for the holidays and have a great Christmas and a happy New Year!!

I just stumbled on your blog and read the whole thing. I worked for a short time for an adoption agency in Utah as a birth mom assistant. Your story is close to my heart Wow! So happy you got your girl. You are a darling mama.
