This year the kids were really into christmas. Christmas Eve was a long night trying to get them calm enough to finally fall asleep.
Blake loved his Buzz Lightyear and BL pj's.
Syd loved all her presents. Pj's, markers, etc.
Blake says thanks G-ma for my transformer mask. He is having lots of fun this year with all his new total boy toys.
Christmas sunday.
This year we went down to Boulder City to check out there Santa Train. It was fun riding in a train and having santa come sit with us and talk to the kids.
Christmas this year was so much fun because the kids are so into Santa and Christmas. They get so excited when they see Santa it makes it so much fun. It was only last year that Blake was afraid of Santa and this year he runs up to santa and hugs him.
I Love the kids expressions in this pic. Blake is so happy and Sydney is crazy.

We had some time to kill before the next train ride so we took a trip down to Hoover Dam.
This year the kids loved to decorate the christmas tree. Sydney is really into this year. She loved getting all the ornaments out and putting them on the tree while Blake was behind her taking them off and putting them somewhere else.
Blake getting into trouble and Sydney hard at work decorating. All I did this year on the tree was put on the lights.
Sydney found a cute lil tree just her size.

While the Turkey was cooking and since we were having such awesome weather here in Vegas we went on a hike at Red Rock.
This year my family came to Vegas to have Thanksgiving. We had a full house and had so much fun. We didnt even have any leftovers this year.
The babies in the Michaelis Family, Morgen and Chelsey.
Did I mention Rami cooked the whole Thanksgiving dinner himself!

Real 900 lb pumpkin in the Bellagio Gardens where they turn a huge room into a floral Decoration. For every season or holiday they decorate the room using all different kinds of flowers. Kinda reminds me of the Rose Parade for New Years but it's an entire room.
