Christmas Vacation in Las Vegas

This post is way overdue!

Every Christmas my mother is always kind enough to make these little Christmas trees for our little girls. It is a great way to remember them.

It sure was cold. Lex did say, "bye".

After awhile though, as you can see he was ready to go.

I love my mom, thanks for keeping their memory alive. Before we went to the cemetery we went out to Kneaders for their all you can eat french toast. If you not had it, it is a must!

Then, the next day we were off to Las Vegas baby!

Here is Lex in the car. He does really well. He travels better in the day because he usually sleeps for at least half of the trip, which is sooooo nice for us. You can see he also gets pretty bored at times.

He is happy if he has a huge drink, j/k. Ha ha.

I felt bad, one of Karen's trees kept falling down. I think it feel down 3 times. It was horrible.

One day, we went to the Bass Pro shop and looked around. I had never been there before. It is an awesome store.

We stopped and looked at the huge aquarium in the casino. It was so cool. It makes me want to go snorkeling.

While we were there, we visited Santa and Lex did better but of course, Ben held him the whole time. After you met Santa, they had a shooting gallery for kids. Lex sure loved helping dad play.

Christmas!! I loved Lex's Christmas pajamas and mine too, actually. Ben is the only one who didn't get new pajamas, sorry babe.

Here we are opening presents.

Lex would tug as hard as he could until he fell back on the floor. It was a lot of fun to watch him open his presents. He did get bored. He didn't even finish opening them all. I guess that means he got too many.

Here is with dad opening presents.

We did get some new slippers from from his parents. I got some duck ones, Lex loves them. Whenever I wear them he says, "Quack, quack, quack." I love it.

Lex really had a good time with Grandma Karen. She spoiled him. His favorite toy is the tricycle they game him. He can't quite reach the pedals so he just sits on it or he will beg us to take him for a ride on it.

Here is a family picture on Christmas morning, ok afternoon and we were still in our pajamas.

Here is a shot of the big Christmas tree. It was huge and gorgeous, I don't even know how they decorated it?

Another day we all went shooting.

This is Daniel. He is the newest member of the family to be a cop.

Doesn't Ben look hot?

He shot a 45mm and he did really good. He has never shot hand guns and he is really good with them, I was impressed. You can see, he was pretty on. The ones far away are from me. Hey, I was pretty happy that I hit the target.

They had set up a bunch of targets. It was a fun, considering I am not much of a shooter.

Here is a shot of me! I was cold, can ya tell?

They also did some clay shooting. Dallin kicked everybody's butt. He was really good.

This is my sis in law, Litany and her son Jaxson. She got a new gun for Christmas. She had to try out.

Another day we went to the Bellagio because that is a must for me. The gardens were amazing like always. The decorations were beautiful.

We had to see the fountains. I thought Lex would have enjoyed them more. I was wrong. He like to look at the ducks, yay!

Love them!

Lex really was taking in all the decorations.

Ben and I have a favorite restaurant called Lucille's. We went with the family and it was a bust. It took forever to get our food. It tainted the whole experience. I was so sad.

Here is Ryan and Kristina and family.

Their daughter Livvi, was so much fun. How can you resist those baby blues?

Even Lex was ready to eat! He wanted his food and so did I!!!

While you are in Vegas you have to eat at where else? In-n-Out.
