We enjoyed spending Christmas and New Years in Las Vegas this year - a nice 10 day trip! We had family pictures taken while we were here. We were honored to take a tour of the Nevada state building in Las Vegas, and auntie's office!
We always enjoy visiting the gardens at the Bellagio - all decked out for Christmas!
And the beautiful water show outside of the Bellagio ...
The boys enjoyed lots of time together - reading, playing, eating, video games, ...
We had a great time attending Mamma Mia! at Mandalay Bay. It has been in Vegas for years, and this is the last week. It was spectactular!!
More time with the boys!
We built gingerbread houses!
Santa Claus visited us on Christmas & brought presents for the kids.
Check out my son's amazing Christmas present - a whale baleen from Alaska - his Grandma had it hand carved for him, telling the story of the Alaska Eskimos, and she brought it from Barrow, Alaska!
I received a very special gift as well - a Samoan fine mat. My mat is packed up to be shipped back to Colorado, but here is my mother-in-law's mat. The mat was hand woven in Samoa, and is very old. It is absolutely beautiful, and amazing work! It is a very big honor to receive a mat like this. I am excited to display it in my living room, along with the beautiful tapa cloth I received earlier this year. Now I just need new couches to match! :)
The 3 boys as Star Wars Clone Troopers!
My darling nephew enjoyed his Grandpa's music for hours and hours. A perfect & beautiful baby!
HUGE dinner for Christmas day! We have eaten like this every day - always lots & lots of very good food!
