The Rest of our Trip

The first half of our trip to NM was all about Christmas - Here’s a look at the second half!

Jaxen loved the face-paint-bath-soap he got in his stocking :)

We all wore our hats on this day and headed out for the park to help get some
of the boys wiggles out. It was a beautiful day!






After the park we went to Sam’s Club so the boys could pick out a new toy
with some money they received (they combined money for a Paw Patrol truck)
and then we had Sam’s Pizza for lunch with Pepaw Scotty and Bebe.

And then this happened.
This little guy was having a hard time :(


Another night we were there we headed to the Roswell Zoo for this
Christmas-Train-Thing.
It was so much fun!




We rode a train and saw some light displays….



Played with fake-snow….




Entered a life-size-snow-globe….


Saw more lights…




Saw Polar Bear and Fairies dancing…



Walked through and played in these little villages...






Saw Santa…


Drank hot cocoa and then hopped back on the train for more light displays...





And we went through a laser light tunnel!

It was so much fun for the whole family!!!

Another night…and probably one of the coldest nights…
we had a campfire with my sister!

The boys, all ready to go with their glow-in-the-dark Santa Masks sticks. 

The best part was the s’mores!





It was cold but we loved it!

While we were there the boys slept together in a big bed.
Mainly, because Zane kept crawling out of the pack-n-play!
It went terrible some nights and well others.
But I’m so glad I took this cute picture of them two on the monitor…
all snuggled up together!

The rest of the time there we relaxed, napped, ate, and played games!

We had such a great visit!

We love you Bebe and Pepaw Scotty!

Oops! Christmas Morning

Oops…I left out Christmas morning from my last post! 

So here are some fun pics from the day….

Bed-head stocking pics. I love it!

Exploring their stockings.


After stockings they opened up their “Santa” gifts.
Jaxen got an ABC Mouse Subscription and Zane got a cool light-up car track!

It was a fun morning.
And then they played their little hearts out with all the toys.


And Christmas Breakfast?
Cinnamon Rolls, M&M’s…and eggs and sausage for those who wanted it!

Christmas!

We spent the Christmas holiday in NM with my family. We drove through the night to get there, and I’m not sure if we will do it again. It was way cheaper than driving through the day - and about 1 hour quicker. But the boys didn’t sleep great…therefore Nik and I didn’t sleep great.

But once we got to NM - we napped :) 


And then ate Mexican food :)


Christmas Eve was spent cooking, baking, playing games and 
Jaxen and Aunt Jessie put together this adorable Gingerbread House!



We wore our Christmas shirts the day...


And that evening we opened presents!!!

I love opening presents on Christmas Eve - probably because that is what
I’m used to from growing up - and it was nice because my sister, nephew and grandma
were able to join us!

We had a great, relaxing, fun time opening up presents!





















Christmas morning there were stockings for everyone
and a few gifts from Santa!


We had a wonderful Christmas -
And I’m so thankful for the time spent with our family!
