After Christmas we packed up, caught a plane to Amarillo, rented a car, drove to ANgel Fire, NM, spent a few days with family and then repeated in the reverse order. It was a little crazy but fun. To get 2 young kids and all their stuff through the airport can be tricky but after borrowing a few things we found a system that worked. Sister got to ride in her car seat attached to the luggage. She thought it was pretty fun and people thought it was pretty funny. Here she is loaded up and ready to go!
Sister thought the plane ride was pretty fun both ways.
So, did Sugie! :)

THe first day we arrived to Angel Fire there was quite a bit of snow already on the ground!
We saw some good wildlife.
Hey buddy!
Sugie loved playing in the snow and eating it!
Sister liked it too!
Actually right after this picture she was screaming in pain becuase her hands were frozen. HA! THe next day we got her better gloves and she was much happier.
We did a little sledding near the house but decided to try out the offical snow hill at the ski resort. It was a really fun hill BUT
the climb back up was killer. The picture really doesn't do it justice of how steep it was.
Poor Daddy just about killed himself. I thought he might have a heart attack lugging these two back up to the top! HA! Good daddy!
Bailey and MCkenzie LOVED it though. I could hear them screaming in delight all the way to the bottom!
Away they go!
Jude and Mckenzie playing in the snow by the cabin.
Of course one can only take in so much cold so there was plenty of cabin time. Lane and Sister checking out a book together.
Sisters playing paper dolls
The boys built a cabin!
These 2 monkeys liked climbing into our warm and cozy bed...:)
The second day we were there it pretty much snowed all day so it put some good snow on the roads around the cabin. A lot of these pictures are so blurry because of all the snow but it will give you the general idea of our sledding adventures.
We had metal sleds that you could steer with so Bailey and Mckenzie would ride on our backs. It was a lot of fun. We actually did lazy man sledding and would drive to the top of the hill, unload a few people and then have someone drive to the bottom whie people rode down. HA!
This is my sister in law, Laura. Isn't she sexy?
We both thought were were rather sexy in our camo coveralls! HA! I think the moutain air may have been getting to me.
Sugie loved the sledding!
One of my favorite pictures from the trip.
It was so beautiful all around!
Chad and Jude and I think that is Cade on the right but it might be Lane?
Here comes the Williams Family down the hill!
Woo hoo! Family sledding! Sister cracked us up becuase she seemed to like the snow ok but was mostly expressionless. HA! It was pretty funny. I know she must have been having fun because anyone that knows sister, knows that if she was miserable she would be letting you know about it!

We rung in the new year but the kids were rather grumpy and I was asleep before it happened! HA!
Making snow angels
It was a short but fun trip. I think the girls are like me and are home bodies. So, after a few days they are ready to go home. Although, Bailey said she didn't want to leave even though her behavior said she needed a big nap
Luckily we survived the trip home. I had booked a 8:55 flight which I already knew was way past their bedtimes but it was cheap and late enough for us to drive back to Amarillo. Then it got delayed an hour. I was scared to death. I knew Bailey would be fine becuase she had slept for well over an hour in the car but little miss sister only took like a 45 minute nap and is usually in bed at 8. I was really expecting disaster! Here they are watching some Dora at a docking station in the airport! Lucky for us I think that Mckenzie was on the delirous side in the plane and really happy. Now, the shuttle ride in the bus to where we parked our car in Dallas, not so much! HA! By that point it was 11:15 and she was DONE! Luckily the screaming stopped once we got done the road a couple of miles and she zonked right out. POor baby! It was a fun trip with family!
