Catching up!!

We started our month out with a trip to Las Vegas for a work convention. We had one day of meetings and then the rest was fun, shows, and shopping! It was so fun to get away together and we thank our family who we somehow finagled into helping out with our kids while we went!

It was Bob's birthday while we were there and we went to eat at this delicious restaurant called the Wicked Spoon. If you get a chance to go to Vegas I think you will really love this place! It was rated one of the top restaurants!


Some of the pictures are a bit out of order but this Christmas we went to Heber City with the Nelson family. It was an absolute riot! We went tubing down soldier hollow and Bob took the boys skiing. We had lots of swimming and went ice skating outside. It was so nice to be together with the whole family. We got Nicole and Chris and Michele and her "friend" Eric to come too which made it all complete.



Christmas was a huge hit this year! We just had a fun time being together and spending the holiday with our loved ones! I feel so blessed to have great friends and family in my life.


OK... so the kids did get some pretty cool loot this year! Santa brought us a Wii which will help us get through the long winter! I am loving the Just Dance 3!



Christmas Eve we ate dinner at Aunt Diane's house. It was nice to visit with cousins. Our kids sang Away in a Manger in the Nativity. I think Emerson was the only one who didn't run off during our song!




Emerson turned 6 this year! He felt pretty proud that we threw him a party with all of his friends from the neighborhood and school class! He has the cutest friends and they are all such good kids! It was a great time!
