December in Phoenix - the best time to be there

We surprised my niece Katy with a visit to Phoenix, in honor of her being awarded the World of Community Service award from the Arizona Girl Scouts. Here she is with her proud parents and her proud aunt.

















Here is a link to their site: http://www.girlscoutsaz.org/site/c.kkI1KgMZIxF/b.3530275/k.383E/2007_Honorees.htm

It was a blast to see my family, join in the celebration, and enjoy a Hanukkah party on the Saturday. Molly and Marina enjoyed a cousinly moment together.

One of the highlights was watching Katy play basketball. For a not-so-tall kid, she is pretty darn good! Not just a smarty, but a jock too!
The trip was much too short!
