Christmas 6

Christmas day, my immediate family (mom, dad, Kari, Brian, Keslyn, Meg, K, and I) drove from Seagraves to Ruidoso, NM for a little taste of mountains and snow. The first day we just chilled and God blessed us with a little snowfall, even though it was a warm 50 degrees outside. Believe it or not some actually stuck to the ground.

Here are my mom and dad at Inn of the Mountain gods. (We didn't stay there, we just took pictures in the lobby to make it look like we stayed there... : )
Keslyn loved this HUGE gingerbread house. I think this one would have won the Burton's gingerbread house contest!!!
Since my mom's birthday was around the corner, we decided to "make" her a cake from Wal-Mart and celebrate in our real hotel room (LaQuinta, if you were curious). You can just see the Chocolate in Katelin's eyes!!
Brian and Keslyn have only seen snow a couple of times in their lives, so we decided to go where they could see some... that's right, where they have snow making machines!!! There is this place in Ruidoso where they are world renown for snow making. They have tubing and an "amusement park" for the little ones. Katelin loved the little train and carousel.


After Ruidoso, we drove back to Lubbock to visit with my mom's side. This is my cousin Branden, Aunt Renee, and John, David, and Misty (My cousin Brian in Iraq's family). We played Disney monopoly. Who won? My cousin's kid David, of course!!!

Welcome to our new blog! We thought this would be a fun way to share our pictures and lives with family and friends. Thanks for visiting. Enjoy!
Katelin celebrated her first birthday at her grandparents' house in Round Rock. We grilled hamburgers and had cake and homemade ice cream.

We went to the Grand Canyon for our vacation this year. We stayed in Sedona, Arizona. The mule ride was great fun! We suggest everyone seeing the Grand Canyon at least once in a lifetime.
