Christmas in the sand

This year we again decided to go heat over cold... Well actually we decided to spend Christmas with the whole family! We headed back to Pheonix for some fesrivities! Besides the plane ticket, mom and dad gifted us with a ride in a hot air balloon! 

This was one of the coolest experiences! We got to go up early in the morning and it was an absolutely perfect day. The sky could not have been more clear and the temperature was just right. We saw how they blew up the balloon and then 16 of us piled in this huge basket and we were off! If you haven't done this yet, it's an experience everyone needs!
