Christmas and the Eve

On Christmas Eve we hung at our house after church.  Here is a video of us performing the 12 days of Christmas led by the famous Uncle Lyle!

Joey got a new electric guitar!  We opened gifts with Jord and Nel in the morning.

Then we had the Kordays, Dowlings, Kamraths and Vans over for our Christmas meal.

Playing Monopoly...we always get board games for Christmas!

Later on my boy and I drove around and looked at Christmas lights.

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!! We sure did.  The Bauers Kids are here to visit now so more pics are coming soon!

Las Vegas

This past weekend my team went to Las Vegas for a b-ball tournament.  Sadly, we lost both of our games but still had a fun trip, touring hotels, going to restaurants, sleeping (catching up after a busy semester :), and just laughing a lot! I am so grateful to be a part of this team.  The girls are so sweet to me. 

We got to ride this roller coaster in the New York New York part of the Strip.  It goes all around the buildings.
