Well, I have decided that Arizona is not the place to spend any time in December for me to have the Christmas Spirit. It's great for my sister and her husband, but it just wasn't the same as the cold, snowy weather of Utah (of which we are having at this moment). After having surgery on my elbow on December 8th, I flew out the next day to Arizona to spend time with my sister and her husband in Tonapah (middle of the desert 100 miles from California). What a vacation. They took excellent care of me, what a pampered life I had (although I found eating with my left hand very difficult). Steve joined us on Wednesday and my other two sisters (one with her husband, the other with her daughter) joined us on Friday. What fun just visiting and playing games and having a little "sisters" Christmas party. I had so much fun, although I had to be icing my elbow all week and it did hurt pretty much the whole time. Steve and I flew home on Sunday. I'm now off of work until January 21 recovering. Steve and I are taking a 4-day cruise with some friends from Long Beach to Encinada my last week of recovery.

Love Christmas in Arizona. I don't like the cold, so enjoy the pictures of everyone else dealing with the snow, while I enjoy the warmth. Hope your elbow is doing fine and we are recoving fast. Enjoy the cruise, but save some money for April! Love, Carrie
