Thanksgiving in Taos, New Mexico

This year we met my parents and our friends Sheila and Pete in Taos, New Mexico for Thanksgiving. We were very lucky that we all made it there safely because New Mexico had winter storm warnings before we got to Taos.  The roads were HORRIBLE for all of us. 

New Mexico state line (Cass and Dylan's first time in New Mexico)

Darn tumbleweeds attacked us for miles and miles

Our beautiful house in the mountains.  It looked small when we pulled up but it was like an adobe castle inside.

Family room with fireplace

Michael grilled for us twice!

We really enjoyed the hot tub at night because the stars were amazing to look at.

Cooking dinner

Michael grilling hamburgers!

We made turkey ornaments and hung them all over the house.

Every morning this is what our coffee selection was.  It was actually kind of fun:)

Enjoying a good cup of coffee in the mountains.

Shopping at Taos Plaza

Shopping with Sheila is always an experience.  She actually bought a sink.  Not kidding!!

Sheila and I at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge.

Breathtaking!!!

Cass and Dylan were even amazed!

Having fun at the bridge!

Taos Cow ice cream was a delicious afternoon snack!

We only went out to dinner once and it was to Orlando's. It was voted best New Mexican cuisine and it was absolutely delicious!  Sheila and I also enjoyed the sangria.

Then we came home and put on our comfy clothes, sat by the fire and enjoyed homemade hot buttered rum.

We played lots of card games and Dylan always seemed to beat Grandpa.

Taos Pueblo

Dad and I at the Pueblo in front of the church.

The Pueblo was very interesting and we learned a lot on our tour.  Some of the buildings are over 1000 years old.

This is the only water source on the pueblo and it was crystal clear.

The oven they cook in and let me tell you that the bread was scrumptious!

Then we left the pueblo and stopped by the San Francisco De Asis Church (built in the 1700's).

Happy Thanksgiving 2013!

Bye Bye mountains!!

Movie Night with Friends

We had a fun night seeing Hunger Games:Catching Fire with friends tonight. Thanks Trent for taking the picture.

Last night Dylan took this picture while I was trying to open up my nose.  I couldn't breathe at all!!  Thanks Dylan for taking that lovely picture.

I am so thankful that I am off all next week!  YAY!

Super Busy Sunday

Today Dylan had two basketball games which he was allowed to play in both with his splint on. You are actually not suppose to play with anything that has metal in it or on it but no one noticed:) It was probably because he had a black sock wrapped around it.

Then I hosted my first Thirty-one party for my friend Stacey and this was her first party being a consultant.

We had a GREAT party.  I LOVE getting free stuff!

We dropped Cass off at the Sprint Center for the Selena Gomez concert and now off to the airport to pick up Aunt Ann.  I feel like I didn't have a weekend.  BOOOO!!

Father/Daughter Dance

Cass and Michael are at the Father/Daughter Dance at the high school right now. They could choose to dress like the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's or 90's.  Which decade do you think they chose??

Cass has very thin hair but I tried to get it to stand up!!

What a mullet!!

Hope they are having fun because I know the 80's were a great time for me:)
