New years Eve party

We went to our neighbors for a fun filled New years eve party.  We did sparklers and some fireworks at 9 for the kids...

 then turned on a movie while the adults played games and did a white elephant. 

I for some reason just took pictures of the kids... probably because they were way cuter than the adults!

Christmas Day

Twas the night before christmas...

 Before we started opening anything we had to get the cinimon roll going.  Emma and Tyler helped open them and get them in the oven.

 While they were cooking they opened their stockings!

 we ate breakfast than it was time for all the gifts....  are they not the 3 cutest little kids!

 Emma got a unicorn pillow pet

 Reagan got a puppy pillow pet.

 And tyler got the DS game he has been wanting!

 After lunch, bbq ribs, potaoes and homemade rolls, we headed to Nanas to enjoy some time with them.  We played sorry, opened more gifts and I got a NEW DISHWASHER!!!!!  I was sooooo excited it was delivered and installed on the monday after christmas!  I can't beleived I lived a while year without a dishwasher.  Thanks NANA!!!!!

It was really a perfect christmas this year!

Vegas Baby

Joe and I took the red eye on Friday night to Vegas for his sister's wedding.  We got there around 1am.  Everyone was in bed but as soon as I said IHOP close but and they all jumped up and got dressed so off we went down the strip!

Joe and I got up and walked the strip in the morning.  A friend told me about the brunch at the Wynn so we checked it out.  It was the best food EVER!!

Then we got dressed and headed to the chapel for the wedding.

the limo came and picked us up and off we went.

The wedding was so beautiful and some how I didn't get a picture of the bride and groom but I have some from the reception that night so I will post them later. 

Temple lights with Amy and Landon!

Amy and Landon came in town on Friday, the same day we were leaving for Vegas for Linzi's wedding, so before we left for the airport we took a trip to see the temple lights! 

Then Joe and I headed to Vegas while Amy and Landon watched the kids until the next morning then brought them to Emily's house to hang out.
