Thanksgiving

This year we stayed put and for the first time in almost 11 years of marriage Jeremy's sister came to our house with her hubby and 4 boys. The kids loved it and we had a great time.


Dinner was plentiful and delicious. As we were finishing up our dinner Jennifer asked how far away Hoover Dam was since it is about 30 min away we decided to drive out there and take a look around. For Jeremy and I it was the first time we had been out there since they had finished the bridge so the highway can bypass the dam(something we are excited for because it will cut out an hour of travel time to my parents house). It was windy and the wind was soooo cold. The kids enjoyed it and Jennifer eventually got over the height issue.





On Friday we went down to the strip to see some of the shows they do outside and the one that's inside Ceaser's. My younger boys really don't like the Mirage volcano or the cannons at Treasure Island.

how FUN! i am so jealous that someone came to you for christmas. we've stayed home more times than gone away for our christmases and have never had someone come and be with us. we always fly solo..it's kinda depressing but way easier {and cheaper} than flying all of us to colorado.

plus..the kids look like they had so much fun with their cousins!

we have had to fly solo too and it is hard but having 12 people majority are kids is utter chaos. now with so many kids buying plane tickets seems CRAZY. i have a tentative trip to iowa planned to see my great grandma for spring break and i will be on my own with all 4 kids definitely flying that far though
