I guess we were all nice because SANTA came to visit us!!

We actually went to visit Santa in Las Vegas and Lydia was lovin him! It was also Doggy night with Santa so Lydia was freaking out the whole time looking at all the dogs waiting in line to see Santa.... (kinda wierd if you ask me...especially in Vegas! girls dressed up sexy with their little puppy or the worst was a crazy girl with a hairless cat)
Anyways, Lydia loved Santa and cheesed it up the whole time we took pictures!
All of our pictures are a little blurry but Here's Christmas morning!
At first she was scared to sit on her pony and just wanted to attack it and then would shove my face it to attack it
Once she got on she Loved it!

She also got a lot more presents and was spoiled by the Grandparents! Thanks guys!

But of course the real meaning of Christmas is Christ! We tried talking about him to Lydia but as a wee little 1 year old presents seemed to be more important(It will probably be this way for a long time and I have to admit I still LOVE presents myself) Imagine that!
Next year however she may be a bit more attentive so my question for you all is was traditions do you have in your home to help young ones remember the true meaning of Christmas?

Vegas Trip


We have been SO busy this Holiday season!
We were in MN for Thanksgiving, Ohio the next week and Vegas the week after that!
It has been so fun visiting everyone but we are happy to be home for awhile with no plans at all!
Lydia has been a tropper and loved all of the traveling and seeing all the familiar faces!

Here we are at the Beautiful Wynn hotel in Vegas!


Jeff took me to my first Vegas show "LOVE" of course we both LOVED it!
Lydia loved all the buffets and the variety of food and SWEETS!
I HIGHLY reccomend the Treasure Island Buffet! I was sceptical at first especially when I saw that it was only $22, but it was soo good... made to order pasta, yummy sushi and even cotton candy!



My Dad watched Lydia for us so we could go to the show!
This trip was extra special because not only was my Dad and Chris there but my Aunt Connie and Uncle Matt were there and my Grandparents (who have only ever been on a plane to go anywhere one other time!)
And here's just a cute picture of Lydia from Grama and Grampa G's house over Thanksgiving!
