Its beginning to look alot like Yuma

Some people dream of a white Christmas. Others dream of gila monsters and saguaro cacti. We decided to take a walk on the wild side and see how the other half celebrate their Yuma Yuletide.



Here is a beautiful example of O Tannenbaum, Yuma style. Not quite native to the area, but you will find desert dweller sure love their palm trees.



Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without kids ripping paper off of presents. These are the twins, Lucas and Brandon. only 19 months and already present opening professionals.




How do you get a set of twins to look at the camera at the same time? I know that this will be my challenge for the week.



I met the Yuma relatives back in 1974, that was 32 years ago. Yikes. Joanne sports one of the hats that I knitted for her. She's Grandma J to the twins, Mom to the boys, Sean, Paul & David & Aunt Joanne to Katie and numerous others. Hubby, Uncle Dick, not much for the photo op, doesn't like to get his picture taken.
