Snow Day

Nothing better than a snow day in mid-January. We had tons of fun getting all bundled up, waddling out in the snow and packing together our first family snowman. We didn't even have to leave the deck to get our snowman underway. (Well, I did have to go inside for his face and outfit)
Caden had fun eating snow, I taught him how, then had to beg him to stop because his little


face was getting so cold. It really makes me wonder how I could have played outside in the snow as a child, I get so cold and I'm ready to go inside after 20 min. I guess the older you get the more you look at snow as a nuisance rather than an opportunity for some major fun.

Vegas Christmas

Yep, that's right, we went to Vegas for Christmas. Our disdain for airports/airplanes remains. We waited for about 15 hours for our flight to leave. David and I barely slept for 2 days and Caden took naps, but didn't SLEEP. Man, were we greasy when we finally got to our destination.

The good news is that getting there was definitely the hard part. After that it was a breeze. David and I both decided that Vegas was fun to see and do, once. And had we been single and loaded with money it would have been a blast. It was honestly more fun to sit around with the family and play games or watch Guitar Hero then go Casino-hopping.

I was amazed at how brownish everything was. I don't think I could live there and not see green grass and green mountains. It even seemed that the colors of houses and buildings were made to blend into the environment...blah. In many ways, it seems like we just went on vacation and that Christmas is yet to come.
