It's Christmas Time

I love Christmas it is one of my all time favorite times of year. It is the one time of year when I bake, make goodies, and let my kids eat what ever they want.

This year has been a little different for us in that for the first time in years we are living by family and have to take them into consideration with what we are doing. It has been a struggle but I think that we are getting there.

One of our favorite things to do during Christmas is to see all the different Christmas decorations. In Albuquerque we were limited on what there was, however here now that is a different story. Starting the Monday before Thanksgiving, every Monday between then and Christmas we would go see a different Christmas thing, so far we have been to the tree at Town Square where they have re-created a Norman Rockwell Christmas, we have been to the Etherl M Gardens lights, Mike and I went on a date to the Bellagio to check out their tree(which is absolutely amazing, those that live here it is a cheap date, hot chocolate the water show and Christmas decorations).

The one thing that we do miss however is the snow. My boys get up every morning and ask if it has snowed yet. Maybe, it sure is cold enough.
