The Boulder city Rail road offers a train ride with santa every year so our little family and Sarah and Owen went. It was very popular so we had to get there pretty early but we got tickets. We went on arail road car that was open( there were indoor ones too) It was alot of fun the girls kept on saying they were riding the Polar Express. ( I think next time we go we will ride in an indoor car) The day we went was the first real wind storm in veags this year so you can only imagine riding in an open car on a train. Al in all the girls had enough on that they were warm and didn't complain so it was a huge sucess.

Gingerbread Houses


So another family tradition done this year. Every year we do a ginger bread house. athis year I made the ginger bread. awe invited some friends over and had a blast Kennedy and Brookelyn sure did a goo Job decorating their House

What a Kid




So I was taking Kennedy to scool and we had dropped her off and Brookelyn and I were headed back home and while I was driving I heard her say" this this" and I thought she was pointing at somethi ng so I said yeah isn't that cool. well then she said "No, mom, this this" so I turned around and she was pulling this face and when she saw that I was looking she said " I monster" I laughed sooooo hard. I mean it was out of the clear blue that she came up with this I have never talked to her about monsters or even shown her how to do silly faces.

Finally Thanksgiving Post

Thanksgiving was a little different this year. We are use to having to be at two houses and with lots of family. This month Britts rotaion wouldn't let him go very long so we stayed home and enjoyed the Holiday as a little family. We got up on thursday and had cinnamon rolls and watched the thanksgiving day parade all morning.Then we cooked a turkey and had a few other traditional foods. ( I finally broke out my fine china from my wedding it was soooo much fun) After dinner we got in the car and went and saw the Bellagio exhibit. ( the girls are in a picture with it.) Then we went and saw the movie Bolt with the girls. We had alot of fun Celebrating our first Holiday in Nevada. The other Pictures of Kennedy and Brookelyn are at Kennedys school, they have a thanksgivingday feast but it was basically veggies and fruit.( too many kids with food allergies, oh well it was still good to them.
