Visit to Taos

 We decided to go to Taos for an early Christmas with my family.  We are only ever there for a long weekend so we decided to make it a bigger trip this time and stayed for 10 days.  It was so nice to be with the entire family.  We had lots of yummy food and played fun games.  Mark and I even got to have a couple of kid free nights. We were lucky enough to get a big snow storm so we got to see snow.  I don't know what it was about this trip but I really reconnected to Taos while we were there.  The boys had a great time they both love being at Monkey and papa's house.  Connor cut both his two top teeth.  One on the 12 hour drive which was no fun and then the next one came in a couple of days later.  He was a trooper.  Brody loved being with everyone it was cute to watch him build that connection with the entire family.  I really needed to be home and surrounded by the people who love me the most.  It's never enough time but I loved every minute of it!


Me and my favorite Cowboy fan!

Christmas dinner, yum!


It was supposed to be a small Christmas.


Connor loved his book.

Brody loved it to say the least.


I thought I would make sure it was safe :)


One of Connor's favorite presents was his new wagon.


Nothing like a Taos sunset!


Connor got a big boy chair just like Brody's, he loves it!


Connor had a play date with some friends.


Snow!!


Lots of snow :)



This was from the beer pairing dinner we went to at the hotel.  Shane did a really great job!


This is how we got everything home.
