Greetings, friends! We are now enjoying our Christmas in the Midwest, but I thought I would update all the rest of our Christmas festivities from Arizona! One evening we headed to look at Christmas lights near our house. In Arizona, we look at lights with Bahama Buck's sno cones instead of hot chocolate!
Some of our dear friends brought flowers as a hostess gift during our Christmas party, and I am so impressed how good they still look!
Last Friday we went to The Living Christmas Tree at Ahwatukee Baptist. The entire median along the main road in Ahwatukee is filled with trees covered in lights. I know these pictures are terrible, but it was so gorgeous!!
It kept going on forever and ever!
The show was the perfect way to get us into the holiday spirit!
We also headed to go look at more lights. This was our favorite house of the night!
Saturday morning Matt and I had our own little Christmas and opened presents from each other.
Saturday night was our Christmas party with the company I see older kids through. We headed out to an amazing dinner and Las Noches de Las Luminarias at the Desert Botanical Gardens. The entire path was lit from luminaries. There were a few telescopes out and several bands found throughout the grounds.
There was one section designed from fiber optic lights and water bottles.
Here is our happy group!
They also has changing light fiber optics that went up an entire side of the mountain. It was so pretty!
Sunday afternoon our neighbors invited us and another set of neighbors over for a few rounds of bags. Matt was pretty good, and it was fun to see them all one more time before we left!
Sunday night we continued our tradition of looking at the lights at the Mormon Temple with our friends, Brooke and Ryan. They recently became foster parents so it was really fun to see their new baby girl!
The lights were so beautiful!! It actually seemed a little cold over the weekend, but I think it helped us prepare for our trip back to Nebraska! Merry Christmas!
