Our Tree ~ 2010

Just a few weeks left of 2010.....here is our tree for this year! I decided on a smaller tree and new decor. For the first time ever we now have a traditional colored "red & green" Christmas tree :)

UP UP and away.....

Our November 19th started like any other day except for the surprise which my family had just been told about 48 hours prior. The only clue was "we would be outdoors". This whole adventure was planned by me within 1 week, thanks in part to our schedule being free this particular Friday evening and for the fact I got an excellent deal through Groupon (sign up if you aren't getting the daily emails, it is worth it!). Even Robb had no clue what the plan was. So, by 3pm the kids and Robb were home, and I then got behind the wheel of the Rover and drove us 5 to Deer Valley airport. There, the surprise was revealed. Hot Air Balloon Ride!!!! It was met with nervous and excited children. A van was waiting to escort us with 5 others to our balloon about 5 minutes away and within 45 minutes we were airborne! A perfect way to spend a Fall Friday night in Az.....
