christmas

we are having a wonderful time in albuquerque visiting family and friends. we are less than a week into the trip and i have taken over 600 pictures so far. as you'll recall, i was disappointed that i only took 3 pictures the last time i was here. i think i'll have to find a middle ground :). i've posted 3 of our 4 christmases in slide shows (thanksmas was posted earlier) to save room on our blog. i hope they convey how much fun we've had with our families. we have so much to be thankful for during this holiday season, not just gifts, but family, friends, love, laughter, memories past and those being made now, time to rest, good food to eat, shelter from the cold, time to talk, stories to hear, and so much more. we hope all of you are having a wonderful holiday season and that you find peace, renewal, and joy in the new year!
