This year we spent Christmas with Andrew's parents in New Mexico. We arrived a couple days before Christmas, and so did they. Needless to say, we had some Christmas-ifying to do! First thing on the to-do list was pick out a Christmas tree.
Would you believe there is only 1 lot in town? At first it was kind of a scavenger hunt to find a tree and I was beginning to rationalize a fake one. It was a very dark time in all of our lives. But then we found the lot and saw they had a ton left still. We were so happy.
Dad was either a) taking naps between handing me the lights behind the tree or b) plugging them into the wall...
After trimming the tree we started decorating. This years theme was snowmen. Mom loves snowmen. We even brought her that little guy off to the left of the picture. It reminded me of Andrew so I thought she would like it.
Chance really wanted to help us get into the holiday by dressing up like a reindeer.
On Christmas Eve we watched Andrew's favorite Christmas movie and ate lots of See's candy.
Last year it snowed, which is not very common, so this year we hoped that it might happen again while we were there. It did. I have always wanted a white Christmas. Something about snow makes Christmas so much better.
This was Chances first time playing in snow. She was a little unsure at first...
... but she loved it. She was a new dog that day.
Love this handsome guy.
I have always heard that water and Ugg's don't go together, but now I believe it.

This Christmas was so special. Thanks Mom and Dad for everything! We hope you enjoyed your holiday too!
