Thanksgiving: We went to Albuquerque for Thanksgiving. It was a GREAT time with my family. Kahlil and Langston had fun spending time with their cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. We spent the whole week there so it wasn't hectic traveling. There were over 20 people at Thanksgiving dinner so it was a little overwhelming!
One day during our visit, we went up the tram on Sandia mountain. It is a LONG tram with amazing views. At the top we had a drink at the bar and played in some snow. Langston had a great time but Kahlil...

Christmas: Grandma and Papa Friberg came here for Christmas. I had a great time decorating the tree with the boys. Kahlil really got into it but tended to focus the ornaments on the lower quarter of the tree. Leading up to Christmas, Langston wanted to take out the presents and open them, but we told him he had to put them back... then on Christmas eve when it was time to open presents, he kept taking them away from people and putting them back under the tree! Once we showed him he could open them, he abandoned the whole put away plan and had fun tearing into the wrapping.
Decorating the tree. The lower half had more than it's share of ornaments :-)

New Years: Grandpa Richard came to visit for a while. He and Kahlil really hit it off this trip. Richard took Kahlil to the movie, and they rode the bus home - who wouldn't love that! They also wrote a book together with Kahlil as the star :-) On New Years day, Kahlil and Jay joined the Polar Bears club by jumping in the outdoor pool here in town. I'll leave it to Jay to write more about that!

There was a person dressed as a polar bear at the entrance to the pool for the Polar Bear Plunge... Langston thought he was cool and a little scary...
