Christmas and New Years 2011

For Christmas Roberto, Nanook and Aluche and I decided to drive down to El Paso to visit the family and get some skiing in:). The exciting part was that Rinita and Kwami came with us! They are so much fun to travel with! Rinita is the best trooper because she was six months pregnant at the time and she didn't have any pains or discomfort! I was so concerned about her comfort levels since the drive is 12 hours. Ironically, she slept great most of the way and I didn't! Then again, I never sleep on road trips. I am too focused.

Anyhow, we celebrated Christmas Eve at my in-laws house and Christmas day with my parents. After we had some good and fatty eats we drove up to my parents cabin and stayed there for the remainder of our stay in the southwest. It was GREAT! We sled, we skied, we shopped, we ate A LOT, we watched movies, we played board games and we laughed A LOT. Here are some pictures to bring everyone up to speed.

Note: This was the first time that Nanook and Aluche experienced large amounts of snow. They were scared at first but after a day or two they couldn't get enough of it!
