The Kitties!

The gray one is super sweet but gives the orange one a hard time occasionally. The white one is cute, but watch your back—she’s the boss! The orange one is nothing but sweet and timid.

Birthday Party for My Sweet 20 Year Old!

Blizzard Day!

We had our very first blizzard in Albuquerque history yesterday! There was lots of snow, but so much wind that it all blew into huge snow drifts. The temperature this morning was 8 degrees. None of that stopped these crazy kids from taking full advantage of the fun!

Mason’s 20th Birthday!

We went to Santa Fe and had fun at the Folk Art Museum for Mason’s birthday. Santa Fe was so snowy and beautiful! At night, we had dinner at Azuma while we waited for Albuquerque’s first blizzard to arrive.

Merry Christmas from the Hanisees and Smiths!

In place of a Christmas card delivered in the mail, I submit this little gem.  Merry Christmas, everyone! May all your days be bright!

Family Christmas Eve!

Family, games, a scavenger hunt, smiles, good food, and puppies!

Christmas Eve Lunch at Pappadeaux’s!

It's such a shame that Robert had to be photo-shopped into the cousin photo because he skipped the lunch!!! (Credit goes to Julia Hanisee for the great individual photos!)

Cookie Decorating (spread out over a few days)!

I made way too many cookies so in the end, we were just trying to get icing on the cookies!

Pet Sitting!

When you are too young for a real job but you want to buy things with your own money, you take a pet sitting job! Here is Dylan taking Moose for a walk, although I think it is the other way around. Moose takes Dylan for a walk!

Look Who’s Driving!

Yep. So we did a bit of this today. We’re all still alive, believe it or not!
