Yay! My laptop is alive! The camera is a little blurry, but it would be asking too much for everything to function perfectly at once, right? Anyway, here is a little peek into our desert Christmas.
Last month I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get into the Christmas Spirit without snow or cozy sweaters. But it's amazing how 72 degree sunshine can put you in the ho-ho-holiday mood. I love running all my errands without a bulky coat. I love shooing the kids outside while I play Mrs. Claus indoors.
I love my Christmas cards! Just looking at my photogenic friends and family puts me in the holliest, jolliest mood ever. You know what I think when I look at this wall? I think, If I died tomorrow, these are the people who would care. Is that weird? I find it vaguely comforting.
Unpacking the Santas and little forest of Christmas trees, I felt like I was reuniting with old friends. They help make our new house feel a little more like home.
The train is circling the living room tree, but I'm finding my little engineers aren't quite as captivated with the chugga-chugging this year. Sad.
And the Tooth Fairy finally made a stop at Luke's pillow! All he wants for Christmas is his two front teeth. And a Bakugan. And a plasma car. And Rock Band. And a puppy...

Looks like a TOTAL party! We'll be arriving by sleigh on the 23!
It all looks LOVELY!! I haven't gotten Christmas cards out yet...but when I do I will send you one...so...if you were to die, perish the thought...I want you to know that would totally care.
I LOVE that chalkboard!
Beautiful! I think I'd like to have some of your weather too. I got your cute card but mine are a bit late this year.
I love your Christmas home in the west. It is so cute. Someday soon I want to see it live and in person. Preferably when there is snow on the ground here and it is not 120 degrees there.
What a lovely Gab-like post. I'm so grinchy that I need more simple sweet reminders like this to get me in the spirit.
Or 72 degrees.
happy christmas. wish my little elf could see that train!! happy holiday-ing. am impressed with all the twinkly lights and that card collection. looks merry and bright. xo.
I'm so glad your laptop is alive and kicking. Your home looks very festive and inviting, as always. And, for the record, just like Lauren, even though my card isn't on that wall, ahem, yet, I would care too. But, um that's a bit macabre so let's not talk like that.
CUTE! Such a Christmasy house. I love it. And I love the Christmas Cards and sentiment. I don't think it's morbid. I like that idea. And as I am on that pantry door, I can add my voice to those who would CARE! So don't go dying any time soon, 'k?
Add me to your "I care" list. I just happen to be on the "don't ever do Christmas cards" list! (Which might also add me to the naughty list! oops. Oh well.)
I love your home tours. Makes me feel like I've been there.
