Cardinals loss

Well, it's over. Arizona lost but what a game. Mia stayed awake the entire game. She even ran down the hall with me when the Cardinals scored the last touchdown. Yes, Daddy dressed her - i was told she wasn't color coordinated. Oh well.


Then came the controversial catch to clinch the came.

Go Cardinals!

A beautiful day at the park!

Mia loves to feed the ducks at the park. Both Jamie and Debbie seem to always forget to bring the duck food when they go alone with Mia (I don't think they like it when the 60-70 ducks surround them completely when we feed the ducks). Well, I guess this will have to be a special thing that Dad and Mia do together.

This park is called Fountain Hills Park. There's a very large fountain that shoots up in the air ever hour for 15 minutes. It's worth a visit when you come out to AZ.

Together enjoying some backyard activities

Here's Mia enjoying Daddy practicing with his new 3lb fly rod. I am not sure if she's enjoying watching Daddy get into position or if she's laughing at when Daddy hits his head or the tree with his line. They both are funny to watch for Mia.

Realizing the traditions of Christmas

Mia and Daddy put together a gingerbread house that Nana and Welo gave Mia during the last visit. The house has been on the table for a few weeks now, and Mia hasn't paid much attention to it until the past week. Jamie said Mia wanted to look at the house and Debbie noticed that she is starting to move the chair around so she can climb it to get to the gingerbread house.

Here's Mia caught in action and then sharing a piece with Daddy and Mommy.

Christmas in AZ

Mia was busy helping us work through the boxes of Christmas ornaments. She loved laughing and playing with the sting of lights in the green grass while Daddy got frustrated with some of the lights that didn't work.

And yes, our Christmas tree is outside. I would not recommend this option for those of you in Michigan.
