Christmas at the Fakhouri's

We stayed home this year. And it is a very cold and windy Christmas in Vegas. Rami made a huge breakfeast with all the fixings to keep us full all day. The kids had so much fun opening presents from Santa. Here are some of their favorites:

Blake loves cars and trucks so he loved everything. Even the practical present I threw in there... A diego spin toothbrush. To make brushing teeth a lil easier on me.

Sydney loves here lil petshop house. She was excited to see this present because this is something see had asked Santa for.

This year we had decided we weren't going to cook dinner. We were going to relax and be bums, then go out to a buffet to eat. We wanted to take full advantage of Vegas. BIG MISTAKE. The line was so long to get in that we didn't want to wait an hour with two small kids. We would never make it. So we went to find someplace else to eat. We ended up driving all over the place... nothing was open... duh, it's only Christmas Day. We finally found Sonic and had some Burgers... whoopie.... what a nice Christmas Dinner. We defiantly learned our lesson and will never be doing that again.

SNOW DAY

Snow Day in VEGAS??? Its true. We had an official snow day declared. I guess I brought a lil Indiana to Vegas when I moved here. At least it wont last all winter long. Rami and the kids had fun. And I got yelled at because I wouldnt go outside to play in the snow. Thats alright I had two years of snow. That was good for me : )

LETS GO FLY A KITE

Rami, Grandpa, and Blake are making the Turkey. While the turkey was baking Rami would check on it and say somethings wrong it doesnt look right. WELLLLLL after we took the turkey out he discovered he had cooked it upside down! Still tasted great.
