Las Cruces, NM

Four years later, we finally returned to Las Cruces for Thanksgiving! We were supposed to go in 2020, but we all know why that didn’t happen. We are grateful for yet another year where Grandma K made all the traditional Thanksgiving foods! Yum! Maybe next year she will get the year off. ;)

First things, first: we spent a beautiful day at White Sands National Monument! We sledded, walked, and played in the perfectly cool and undisturbed sand.

Thanksgiving day was spent hot tubbing, playing outside, drinking and eating. It was a perfect day!

Ella got to sit in the cockpit on the way home!

We were also able to visit the Farm and Ranch Museum, finally meet Mary and Joe Avalos, and peruse the Las Cruces Farmers Market before flying back late on Saturday night. The kids got to play ‘hide and seek’ in Grandma and Grandpa’s giant house and Ella learned how to play Skip-Bo and Jenga. With good health and each other’s company, we are grateful for another year together!
