ASU v. UCLA

There she is... Sun Devil stadium!  Okay, this family is clearly confused.  It was already cold, the sun was almost gone, and they were putting up the E-Z up... for... shade?  They weren't doing it well either.  Good entertainment for a couple minutes.  

I went all out for Lonnie's birthday - Barro's pizza, brownies, and cupcakes!  Travis is of course eating the veggies(?)!  Can't believe he married me...

  

The UCLA game was Senior Night for our little Sun Devils... we're going to really miss our Mike Jones!  Go Devils! 

Sun Dogs!

I went with Travis when he officiated the Sun Dogs game in Prescott Valley the night before Thanksgiving.  I got to see my friend (and former Yavapai co-worker) Jayson and his wife, Jessie - they've got a great house and two of the cutest cats.  They made an awesome dinner, and then we went to the game to see Travis in action!  

 

Garfield Thanksgiving Dinner

My office is also a residential center for some of our "clients" - we just call them 'the guys'.  Every year we (I don't do much) host a neighborhood Thanksgiving dinner.  A lot of  our people bring their families and come to see Santa as well as have some good food.  There's a ton of effort that goes into this thing, and I think the final guesstimate was around 700 people served this year.  The kids LOVE Santa and his gifts.   

It's probably funnier if you know these guys and what they do for the Department... you will never see me dressed as an elf.  
It was a perfect day - it was really windy and rained the next day... lucky!
