As we head into December and the Holidays, I'm finally getting motivated. Trust me, I absolutely LOVE our Arizona temperatures, but it is really difficult to get into the Holiday Spirit when you're still wearing shorts and there isn't snow. Finally after Thanksgiving, I got my act in gear and started shopping and making plans. Now, 99% of all gifts are purchased (or created) and wrapped. Baking ideas and recipes are ready.
Even though this month gets really hectic, I enjoy having a full calendar. It gives me something to look forward to. The week before Thanksgiving, my company, Comerica Bank, volunteered again for St. Mary's Food Bank. We had a really good staff turnout and we did an assembly line packing Thanksgiving meal sacks for those not as fortunate.
Between now and the New Year, Nicole is taking tennis lessons and attending volleyball training with Club Coaches. Throw in some dog/cat/chinchilla/fish and babysitting, school turkey trot, birthday parties, New Moon showing and orthodontist appointment.
Thursday, Nicole's school held their Holiday Choir Concert with the 5th, 6th and 7th grade choruses. The students worked really hard and it showed. We were so proud of them. Remember to PAUSE my music playlist so you can hear their voices. Word of caution, it's an 18 minute video.
Up next, today is Snow day, so stay tuned for more photos of how us Vistancians get our sledding fix!

I agree...it's so hard to feel "Christmasy", but then I have to remember that Jesus exists in all temperatures :)
Great work at St. Mary's...that's awesome...I LOVE seeing stuff like that!!!!
The last couple of days has been feeling more "wintery" - we have our heat on! Nice that your company volunteers at St. Mary's - first food bank in the country!
