Merry Christmas 2009

 We woke to cold but a little sunny today.  Merry Christmas.  Dinner was at 2 pm.  We had our pumpkin torte done so we could just chill and relax.  Sure wish it was just a little warmer; but it is what it is. All in all in was a good day.  We went back to the RV and watched movies - yes ALL 7 of us in the living room at the same time.  :)   Sooo happy!!

Dad is marking his spot.  Notice the trays on the floor behind 

him?

It's been a long day.

Christmas Eve 2009 in EB, NM

The truck is running and they are so excited

OK we're driving down the road.  Honk! Honk!

Can we stay in here tonight?  Pleeaaasssseee???

Thanks Sharon for showing us your truck AND your dogs.

Now that we've got them fed let's go home.

We didn't do much today.  It was a day to get just veg as we have other plans for all the other days.  Then at the end of the day the boys got to go see a Big Red Truck and even sit in it.  Then we got to open presents.

 

 It was a good day.  The boys are growing so fast.  And the day and the night of the second day.

Children here for Christmas

Well we put got Clay and Sharon's vehicle put in beside us and it was ready for occupancy when the kids got here.  Then we were off to explore and the first stop was the Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge.

SNAKES??  With 3" of snow!

Birds, birds, birds everywhere.  Then we headed to the Very Large Arrey.  By the time we got there it had snowed so we didn't really do much.  But the "things" were very large.  :)  Then we headed back to Elephant Butte.  And the first day is over.
