The gang was all here for Christmas! The food, fun, games, and festivities were a success. Now all have returned to their homes (Brother and family to Nashville and Sister on her way to Idaho for a new job). Those of us left in New Mexico are recovering, re-setting, cleaning, and trying to get some relaxing in before school starts up on Monday. Here are many pics from the 10 day visit!
New Mexican food and margaritas at El Pinto with our Christmas scarves and ties! E- is hidden in the back and Sis-in-Law sick this day:( Thanks Dad!
Gingerbread Decorating. D- really got into this. We also played Christmas BINGO this night.
