brrr....

 Grandma Helen came to visit us in Goodyear for Christmas and New Years.

We saw the coldest temperatures of the year while she visited.

Snow was even reported in the Phoenix area. We had white mountains!
She promises she'll come back to enjoy our warmer days later this year.

 Ella still climbs trees!

 Every chance she gets.
