The end of 2010

It has been kind of crazy at our house since Halloween. My dad came to visit before Thanksgiving. We always enjoy family visits. Of course you can't start the Christmas holiday without the Black Friday Sales. Yes I am one of those freaks that go out shopping the day after Thanksgiving. I just enjoy shopping. We also put up our Tree that day. We took the boys to Hallmark for their yearly ornament. They get so excited picking it out. When they are married they will have a lot of ornaments for there own tree.
Mom and Braeden were able to visit for Christmas this year. Mom got her Christmas present early when Melisa and Ryker came down the stairs at our house. Melisa and I have been planing that for months. Dave did also come on the 23rd. We had a full house, but it was a lot of fun. We went to the M and M factory with the Cactus gardens, the Bellagio gardens, the lights out at the Speed Way, and Opportunity Village. It was a busy and fun weekend. I almost forgot we also went shopping. Melisa also showed me how to make necklaces and Aaron doesn't know if that was such a good idea or not. I have enjoyed making them. Here are just a few pictures of the last few months.


For those of you who don't think it snows in Vegas you are wrong. Here is our first snow of the year, and yes it melted shortly after this picture.

This is Ayden not sure if he likes the snow or not.

Alex loves the snow but he got his gloves dirty and wet and then the fun is done. It takes longer to put on the gear then they played outside.

Christmas morning. Boy they must have been good because they scored big.

Ayden checking out his stocking.

Rearick family on Christmas Eve. We were getting ready to read the Christmas Story.

Our gingerbread house. Ryker keep putting the candy on and then taking it off, licking it and putting it back on. The kids really enjoyed the building of it.

The kids loved to decorate the tree they had their own little corners.


The kids and I made this for Thanksgiving.

They weren't to sure about Santa. It took Alex 5 times before he would stand this close.
