Town Square Christmas Tree, Hot Cocoa and More....



Oh my have we been busy. We have been all around Las Vegas these past few days, just me, Lauren, Candace, and Zack. We have had alot of fun and the Rudolph chariot (my expedition) acted as our sleigh. We went to Town Square on Saturday night and it was chilly. But the kids and us got to have dinner at Claim Jumper, ride on the train, see Santa Claus ( the real one), have Hot cocoa and it even snowed while we were under the Chrsitmas Tree. It has been a very fun 12 days of Christmas and it is not over yet.... we still have many more things to do and have already done...

Cookies, Goodies, and more Cookies...

I apologize that it has taken me so long to blog and post pictures of all of the fun and exciting things we have been doing. Candace and I held our 2nd Annual Cookie Exchange last weel at Candace's house and we had alot of fun doing it. We even had a little mishap but worked through it, we ended up with 8 participants and some visitors too. It was a great time, Candace made grinch punch which was super yummy and we  got lots of yummy cookies that we all have been enjoying this week.. Larry has been eating all the ones Candace made. :)
