On the 17th we flew out of Bend to visit Uncle Ryan and Aunt Shelly, and Grandma Lola in Phoenix. We ate some fabulous food, hiked in the desert and had lots of fun with their bull terriers, Wedge and Roxie. The dogs and three kitties served as great babysitters for those 4 days, and Aunt Shelly and Uncle Ryan were awesome hosts.

Weredesh also visited Santa at the mall for the very first time, and was so excited until the second we got up there when she wouldn't even turn her head to look at him, she was so petrified. Sadly, they've commercialized even Santa so much that we couldn't get any photos unless we paid an arm and a leg for them.

The warmth of Arizona was sure welcome considering we woke up this morning to 3 degrees!
