December Trip to Ruidoso

As you know, we took a vacation to Ruidoso, NM from December 11 - 16, 2008. Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Paul have a vacation rental house up there and invited Grampa, Dorris, Dad, Barbara (she wasn't able to come), David, Wyatt and me. Dad went up a couple of days early and the rest of us drove up on Thursday in a little caravan. It had snowed a day or two before we arrived so there was still some snow on the ground when we arrived and it was beautiful! We had such a fun time being all together. David and Paul cooked several dinners for us that were fantastic - steak, spaghetti, etc. and we had an overall great time.
Here is Wyatt's first snowball. He loved throwing them over the rail.

This is the view of Sierra Blanca from the living room and dining room windows.

In Lincoln National Forest while we were Geocaching, I had to take Wyatt's picture on this big log.


The deer were eating the pine needles off the trees David and Paul cut down.

Wyatt on the side/back porch with the deer behind him. The deer were everywhere and I must have taken a million pictures of them.

My little Cowboy! Wyatt in his very first pair of cowboy boots with his first cowboy hat. SO HANDSOME!

My favorite cowboys!

I had more pictures but I can't find them on my computer. I'm hoping that they didn't get deleted! These are the only pictures I could find from our trip.
