Mountain House Winter


I haven't talked much about our house in the mountains since my kitchen backsplash tutorial. Mostly this place is a summer house. An escape from the 120degree Arizona desert summers. We only head up here now and then from October through April. But if they get snow, I can't wait to get here for sledding and cozy afternoons by the fire. We don't have TV (just DVDs), cell phone coverage, or internet service. It's a great escape for the adults and once the kids get over their online gaming withdrawals, they have a great time too. Here's a few pictures...     Maybe more than a few.
