Arizona Girlz Day Spa

My niece got this book from the library while back in Michigan
And told her mom that we HAD to do a spa day while in Arizona

First on the agenda was the banana and honey face mask

And of course
One has to have cucumbers over ones eyes

And there must be calming instrumental music playing.

Then, a foot soak was in order
With magazines to read, of course.

And there was hairstyles done by Kayleen.
The master of braiding.

Nails were on the agenda
But the spa hosts were a little pooped out
And we ended with a healthy spa snack.

The week spent together with Miss M, Ms. O, my niece, my sister, and I
Has been wonderful on many levels
Yet, unexpectedly challenging on others.
(As previous post alluded to.)

We have a shocking lack of pictures due to running from one thing to another
And then just trying to soak in the fun and forgetting to take pictures in the process.
We haven't regretted it during the time together,
But I know we will in the near future.

It will be hard to see Kayleen and my niece go tomorrow
And know that I probably won't see them until summer
This is my first year not going home to Michigan for Christmas and my birthday
And I think that is adding to my holiday struggle.

However,
Since this is the first time I will be in Arizona for Christmas
And since I have kids now
I invested in a little Christmas tree.
It is up
And looking lovely
But more importantly my nativity is up
And is my focus with both girls.
(One who is very Santa-obsessed.)
I love my Nativity and the family and friends who
Gifted me with the many pieces of it.
