Thanskgiving in Vegas

For those of you that may have been wondering...no I did not fall off the planet, I just can not seem to accomplish anything these days. I am finally blogging about our Thanksgiving adventures, and am quite proud that I am doing this before Christmas :)
We went to Vegas this year to see my family and had a fabulous time. It started off with the usual Thanksgiving feast in my Grandma's basement with about 60 people. And then later that night had a "smaller" gathering at my Mom's with just my family. It was all delicious, loud, and crazy, but so much fun. The weather was nice after Thanksgiving rain so my kids got to play outside most of the time we were there, they were in heaven. We got to go to the movies, help decorate for Christmas, eat at my favorite restaurants, take one kid to instacare, and actually hang out and relax a little. We loved it!

I had a picture here of the kids playing the Wii with their Uncle Richard, but some how I deleted it. It was really quite amazing that he came down to play. He will do almost anything for Riley, including play webkinz all day and earn her money. She loves it.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and can't wait to enjoy the Christmas season!

So glad I got to see you before I headed off to California! Looks like I missed out on all the fun though!

I love your blog! I need to revamp mine, but I'm lazy! Thanks for fitting us in your busy weekend! It's always so fun. Next time maybe we can rendezvous up there! I think we might come up in March for Bennett's birthday.
