Sunbowl 2014...a little chilly but a great game!

Christmas Eve we enjoyed walking around the Mesilla Plaza after church, and a late dinner at Andele's.  Christmas morning, Barrow was excited to find NBA2K, NHL 2014 and Madden 2015 among his gifts!

One last Christmas party...ugly sweaters...caroling...and family selfies!

Christmas Eve...hot air balloon in the distance!

Caroling at Good Samaritan with 4-H

Elf on the Shelf, Carl, visited us daily during December.  He found a different place to hide every morning, and sometimes brought gifts!

New Mexico Farm and Ranch Museum's Christmas in the Past 2014 show.  Barrow was a 60's guy protesting the Vietnam war.  He did a great job!

He graduated to a decisive 2nd gup!

Barrow competed in the speech contest at Sierra Middle School - "If I could change one thing in the world".  He chose ending mental illness by educating people about mental illness so that changes could be made to help people who suffer from the disease.

Barrow returned home from the hospital and returned to school.  That morning he competed in the speech contest - If I could change one thing in the world.

He felt much better!

A 4mm long thorn!

Look what Dr. Cruz found...a thorn from the bush!

Off to surgery...!

Barrow was upset when he didn't get ice cream...so he hit a bush.  The next day we headed to the emergency room!

We spent Thanksgiving with Mimi and Dick Daddy in Red River.  We enjoyed hanging out in the cabin, and walking around in Taos.  After our Thanksgiving meal, we enjoyed the annual lighting of the tree in downtown Red River.  Barrow spent a good bit of the vacation filming for his media class.
