On Christmas Eve morning, we left Denver at about 6:45 am to head down to Los Alamos for Christmas.  The drive went pretty well and we only encountered bad roads on I-25 just north of Walsenburg, CO and on the south side of La Veta Pass.  We stopped for lunch at Orlando's in Taos before heading the rest of the way into Los Alamos.

Upon arriving in Los Alamos, we went to Grandma Church's house where we met her and my aunt Betsy.  We then headed over to my uncle Alan's house and took a tour of it and chatted with Grandma, Alan, and Betsy for a while before heading up Barranca Mesa to my dad's.  At my dad's house, we helped light luminarias before we headed back down to Grandma Church's house for dinner.  After dinner we headed back to my dad's house and then relaxed before heading to bed.  ...
