Christmas Break - Trip to Phoenix

We had decided that it was past time to visit Grandma Willyerd in Arizona, so several months ago we planned a trip to Phoenix for Christmas Break. We then found out that Eric's uncle was getting married that same week, so we got the added bonus of seeing many member of the Willyerd clan that we wouldn't have seen otherwise. We left Monday morning at 6 AM with a frigid temperature of 6 degrees and arrived in Mesa at 5 PM to a temperature of 65 degrees. We stayed at the Residence Inn in Mesa, in a delightful two bedroom suite. Tuesday morning, we dressed and took the family to the Mesa Temple. We had decided ahead of time that Eric would attend the wedding ceremony and that I would stay on the grounds with the children.
