We did lots of fun things while we were in NM for Christmas. Most importantly we got to spend time with the Cook family. We ate and ate and ate and ate. I made four batches of sweet chex mix, which was only a drop in the hat of delicous food. We got to drink hot chocalet and not sweat because of it. We sat next to the fire and loved every second of that. We only got a skiff of snow one day, but the warm temeratures were conducive to lots of fun outdoor activities. We went to Penny Park (an almost entirely made of wood, 100% community built maze of funness), rock climbing, hot dog roast at the city of rocks, shooting bb guns, played ultimate frisbee, acted out the nativity, played dress up and lots of games (including an ultimate challenge night), went rock climbing, played on the swingset, and climbed on the climbing wall. Our ultimate challenge game night was a contest between everyone and the results were based on a combination of your ping pong, pool and farkle placings. Rusty created brackets for ping pong and pool and you played whoever you were matched up with in the brackets. I ended up tying with Rusty for second overall. Mike was the gold medal winner. One day Brianna (cousin who is 12) dressed Kyleigh and her brother Ben (4 months older than Kyleigh) up in costumes. Rusty's mom has the biggest best collection of dress up clothes ever. They came upstairs as a wrestler/cheerleader, caveman and woman, movie stars, indians, and angel/devil. You will see who was the angel and who was the devel below.

Not so "ultimate" frisbee, but same place and time and super cute.
Looks like a fun time. That devil has a striking resemblance to her mother. J/K. Very cute.
