December in New Mexico 2010

Todd and I have a tradition of cutting down our own Christmas tree every year.  It hasn't always worked out quite as planned, luckily this years traditional went down without a hitch.

While we were waiting for Santa to finish feeding the reindeer we went through the museum.  They even have a Gila monster.

The tree turned out pretty nice

Thanksgiving 2010

My version of Christmas enchiladas (green sauce inside,  red out).

And both red and green homemade salsas!

My first attempt at Grandma Bee Rolls- not perfect but pretty good

My pumpkin roll was perfect though!

 We were lucky to have Belva and Randy visit for Thanksgiving! 

We took our visitors to see some of the sights they didn't have a chance to see when they helped us move, we didn't get to everything but this was a good start.

Todd attempting to sled on the sand using a sign- it didn't work, we'll bring snow sleds next time.

We had been looking for a chair for Joseph since his birthday and finally found a good one on a Black Friday Sale.

 Sorry I've been so bad about keeping this up to date I'd like to say I'll be better, but that would just be lying.  Working full time and the holidays have really thrown me through a loop as far as keeping up with everything.  Now things are settling back in I think we're just about as adjusted as we're going to get.

The University has an amazing geologic museum.  Joseph and Belva are checking out some petrified wood.
