Las Noches de las Luminarias

Last night we went to the Desert Botanical Gardens to see the Desert Winter Wonderland. The Electric Desert, a light and sound experience was amazing! We sat in chairs and watched the lights on the mountain change to the music - so hard to describe but utterly incredible!
More than 8000 hand-lit luminary bags line the paths through the gardens and every so often you come across some entertainment. There was a Mariachi band, carolers, guitarists, a bell choir and more.
It was a truly spectacular evening!

Fireplace

We are so loving our new electric fireplace insert. It looks so real! You can adjust the height of the flame, the temperature and the blower. It is heating our living room and even the dining room and hallway. It does get chilly here in Arizona in the evenings.
