Christmas is in 3 days!

Once again I am behind on our blog.

I got in a car accident on 12/5.  A lady hit me in the parking lot after I ate lunch at Casa Sanchez.  Her insurance is going to pay for it and we took it to get an estimate, but now we are waiting for the parts to come in so we can get it fixed.

I took Nathan to Reid Park Zoo on 12/6.

Tracy Simpson came to visit us on 12/15, Nathan's birthday.  We all went out to lunch at Macayo's and then we had a small Thomas the Train birthday party at our house that night.  Mommy and daddy got him a lot of Thomas gifts, but the hit of the party was the fire truck monster truck from grandma and grandpa. 

We went to church on 12/16 and then that evening Tracy and I went to the Celtic Woman concert.  Paul did not want to go with me, but he missed out on a great concert. 

12/17 we went to Sabino Canyon.  It was very pretty with the water flowing and the trees turning yellow.  We also saw TWO roadrunners.  I still did not get a very good picture of one, but I at least attempted!  That night we took the mule ride through Winterhaven.  I always wish I could get better pictures when we go there, but I still need to learn how to take better pictures at night and of the Christmas lights.

12/18 Nathan had a dentist appointment and an eye appointment.  He was a model patient again at the dentist.  No cavaties and all of his baby teeth are in now.  The eye appointment was more challenging.  He did not want to cooperate for one of the tests.  However, the dr determined that his eyes are just fine.

The next day, 12/19, we went to the Desert Museum. 

Tracy was supposed to go back to Chicago on 12/20, but her flight got canceled due to an expected snow storm.  We took her out to Mosaic Cafe for dinner that night because she heard it was a good place to eat.

Tracy was able to get another flight back home on 12/21.

Today, 12/22, we took Nathan to get his birthday pictures taken at JC Penney.  We got a few good pics.  I think this photographer was a little better than the one we had for our Christmas pictures, but I don't think we got any outstanding pictures this time around either. 

Tomorrow we have church and then we are going to Alvirs for dinner.

Christmas Eve the Southen Arizona Golden Retriever Group will be coming to do a home evaluation.  Hopefully, we will be getting another dog soon!

Can't believe Christmas we will be in just 3 days.  I still feel unprepared.  I need to wrap Nathan's gifts.  Looking forward to seeing him open his gifts, though!  It is strange not having family around to celebrate Christmas with, but it is not so bad to celebrate just the 3 of us.
