Snow or Sun?

This is what we were doing last year.

And this is what we are doing at the same time of year this year.

Going to the LA ZOO.

The Mr. and The Mrs.

He's a pain in my butt and I drive him crazy.

But we love eachother.

A Visit Home

Starfire the family dog is gettin some lovin. She keeps the family and the other lil dogs safe from the Bears that visit the homes in Duarte Mesa. Bears are a frequent vistors.

We enjoyed a visit with Rebecca and Angel while they were here visiting from Chicago.

We enjoyed hanging out with the Michaelis Family. Sitting outside enjoying some sun. Sydney and Blake are always with Chelsey and Morgen or "Gen" as Blake calls him.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles are what Blake is all about.

The kids playing on the Trampoline.

Cousins Jake and Blake are a year apart and had fun getting to know eachother.

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.

Breakfeast with Santa.

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

Gettin ready to chase after the kite.
