new years

just realized that i never posted this entry...eight and a half months later...

yes, as promised heather & michelle came to visit me over new years and it was fannnntastic.

we had so much fun!

the weather over the weekend was perfect. sunny & not too warm or cold.

michelle & heather wanted to go swimming, so we found a way to make it happen!  michelle's grandparents live in a retirement community in mesa.  they weren't actually there, so michelle pretended to be her mom, who's name is on the 'guest list.'

we had such a good time! especially michelle...she got to play water volleyball with all the old people!  i think she thoroughly enjoyed herself.

one day we went on a hike up the san tan mountains behind my house.

seriously, it was like the perfect weather to be outside!

i took them to a big candy warehouse.  i think they were in a candy coma by the time we left just from looking at it all!

new years eve we went to schnepf farms out in queen creek.  we rode a few rides, did some planking, laughed a lot and rang in the new year.

i took the ladies to san tan flatt for dinner.  i knew we would have a good time.  

great food, live country band, dancing, and fire pits ready for smores.

new years was so much fun with michelle & heather.  i'm so grateful for friends that will always be your friends.  no matter the circumstances, the distance or the time gone by.
