Family Christmas

These are in the wrong order.... but here we go! Today is the day after Christmas, Saturday, and we wanted to do some sight seeing. We live in Vegas, but we never go down town! So we woke up, got ready and headed to the MGM to see the lions....Zach growled the whole time, and screamed when we pulled him away from the VERY crouded window!
We also went to the Bellagio. Their garden room is beautiful. The kids loved the train they had, as well as the larger than life polar bears, all made of flowers! Beautiful!

I've never been to the M&M store so we went there too... we paid 24$ for just over a pound of candy...so what, 4x's the price in a store? But we saw a movie, a race car, 4 levels of memoribilia, and Zach never broke anything! Brady won't smile at me....


The aftermath.....



Chrsitmas Eve. We are so happy because we wrapped all the gifts a week ago, so we watched The Christmas Story after setting out the Santa gifts.... oh and our kids were in bed!

Thank you Dramma PP for the jammies! Brady finally got to open something! For the past few weeks Brady asked me a few times a day what he was getting for Christmas.... my amswer was always Underwear! Two days before the holiday he couldn't stand it anymore.... "moooomm, please don't say underwear anymore!"

Christmas Eve Dinner! We stayed home ALONE this year.... WOW it was GREAT!!! I made a huge dinner, ham, sweet potatoes the works.... it took 3 hours to make, and 10 minutes to eat!

Isn't it Pretty!?! Thanks sister for the homemade GREAT apron! I love it!

Santa came to our ward party.... Zach disappeared so many times I lost count, he'd run back into the Santa room, pull his beard and yell in his face, "hi santa!!" It was so dang funny! And of course Brady ran around the church all night will all the big kids!

Who needs a play room???

Zachie's new church outfit!

Letter to Santa!


Santa at the mall.... "mom, I didn't even cry", Brady said when it was all over! Love that kid!

Sounds like you guys had a great Christmas at home, alone! We might try that next year, traveling was tough this year. It was so good seeing you last week. Let's get together again soon!

We do our own dinner with just our family (and Mindy) as well. Next time we will have to get together and act out the nativity or something. I didn't know you were in town.
