event was having Angie, Greg, Isaac and Spencer
come out for a visit. They got here on
December 29 and left on January 2. We played
and played and played. It was wonderful to see
the boys (and Angie and Greg). We spent one day
on the hiking trails of the Cibola National Park,
we went to the botanical garden's light display and
we watched a ton of football. For New Year's
Eve, we made a big ole spread to snack on
through out the night. And then the real party
started. OK, not really. After the kids went to bed,
we hung out on the couch watching Mythbusters
until midnight. We MADE Angie and Greg stay up
until the new year. We had so much fun with
them and miss them already!! We love you!!
Nothing says New Year's Eve like food, food and
more food!
Proof that we really stayed up until midnight.
This is also proof that there is a little of mom in
me because I always have weatherbug.com open
on the laptop so I can see how cold it is outside.
We made Angie and Greg stay up until midnight.
We were all a bunch of wild and crazy party animals,
Well, maybe not.
We tried to take the tram up to the top of
Sandia Peak. Unfortunately the winds were too
strong and it was shut down. Since the kiddos
were totally pumped about spending the day
on the mountain and making snowballs, we
played on the trails at the bottom of the mountain.
It was pretty cold and really windy so we only
hiked for about 30 minutes or so.
There was still some snow on the ground so
we were able to make a few snowballs!
We made it back to the bottom!
We think Greg really is a super hero!
The kids had a movie night where they
watched Elf from their sleeping bags. They
ended up sleeping there all night.
Angie LOVED Jenna's new ice cream maker.
While they were here we made mint chocolate
chip and chocolate with brownie chunks.
YUUUMMMM!!!!!
Aunt Angie was horsin' around with the kids.
One evening we went to the Botanical Garden's
River of Lights display. Despite it being VERY
chilly, alright it was down right cold, we all had a
great time. There were light displays every where
and in all types of themes. Afterwards, we went to
Little Anita's in Old Town for dinner.

Love the pictures! Acie, the girls and I were looking at them this morning. It looks like you guys had an awesome time. We missed your cooking at our New Year's get-together. Looks like you made the jalapeno appetizer again...yummy. As I type this message it is 52 degrees outside. Tomorrow the high is suppose to get to only 66. ..Burrr. We miss you guys so much!
It's looks like you guys had a great time! I am VERY jealous that we missed out on all the fun. Maybe we can come visit this spring!!

How fun~I am so glad they got to come for a visit.
By the way, the cookbook Deceptively Delicious is the one my sister was talking about. I am so buying that book!
Have a great rest of the week!
It WAS so fun. It was a perfect mix of playing and laying around letting kids run wild. It is so pretty where you live and now we have to come back to play more outside! I will not call you a wuss ever again. We froze our buns off! Thanks for all the yummy food...now I HAVE to run! Thanks for all the fun. We love you guys and miss you already!
