New Mexico Trip

This weekend, Finn, Jennee and I flew to New Mexico to watch the Abay children because Nick and Beth were going to Austin for his big company Christmas party.  Finn did so well traveling.  I was so proud of him and how well he naturally adjusted to situations without fussing or getting anxious.  He did not get that from his mother!

Highlights from the weekend include: movie night, a trip to the zoo (that also had a large playground inside of it) and the older kids went to a Christmas parade in Cloudcroft complete with hot chocolate, popcorn and lighting the Christmas tree.

 William and Finn literally rolling around on the floor.  Finn got a taste of being the little brother!

 One of Finn's favorite animals is ducks.  He loves making the "quack" sound.  The zoo had probably 50 ducks or so on its pond and Finn loved it!  Lillie was scaring the birds and ducks so they would fly up.  Finn and Lillie laughed so hard when she did that.

 I loved this mountain lion.  He was napping on his back in the sun with his huge tail falling down the side of his perch.  It's so funny how they can look so cuddly.

Lillie wanted her picture taken on top of "Simba".

We had a lot of fun this weekend and the kids did really well together.  Jennee is such a good Grams.  Patient, kind and loving to all her grandchildren.  I am so blessed to have joined such a loving family.
