¡Feliz Navidad y próspero año nuevo!

I know I promised Christmas was over, but I couldn't resist posting some photos I took yesterday down in the Tubac, Arizona area. Best wishes for a Happy and Prosperous 2009!

A Few Festive Arizona Photos

These photos are from years back before we lived in Arizona. We were down here for Thanksgiving several times when our son attended ASU. I'll be taking more Southwest Christmas photos after Thanksgiving, but until then, I'll post these as a teaser! This wagon decorated for Christmas is my favorite!

P.S. I love that video. My two good friends and I were twirlers in the Oswego marching band. The parade scene reminds me of marching in the annual Parsons, Kansas Christmas parade back in the 60's! It was a biggie! By the way, we were TERRIBLE twirlers! :) And it appears that the year this picture was taken, we didn't even have majorette boots!
