White Phoenix

Dropping temperatures, freeze alerts, stormy skies, and snow?!  Ten minutes north of our house, mother nature blew in a small snow storm!!!  Scot stayed warm at home while Landon napped and I headed out to see my desert Phoenix home being blanketed white.  The air felt crisp and clean.  I stood outside my car in a park with snow billowing around me....so peaceful, calm, and quiet.  Everyone near stood perfectly still, awestruck as the snow wisped, dancing over our heads, covering the green grass, and sprinkling our coats and scarfs with white flakes.

Making the season last.....

Taking advantage of all the wonderful Christmas and winter events can be difficult to cram in before December 25th.  The Willy Wonka Gingerbread house exhibit was one that I was anxious to visit before the end of the year.   The JW Marriott brought the Christmas vibe into the air with their wonderful festive decorations.  The gingerbread exhibit was fun to visit, peeping into the Willy Wonka scenes and getting a visit from the mysterious Oompa Loompas. 

Tip for the JW Marriott at next year's exhibit.....sell candy for the hungry on lookers!!
