Christmas in Sin City

We decided to go to Las Vegas (Henderson, really) for Christmas again this year. We spent last Christmas with my family so it was Jeff's turn. We convinced Jeff's parents and a couple of his siblings to meet us down there at Jeff's sister house. Here are some of the highlights.
As some of you know, Our anniversary is the 21st of Dec. That is the day we flew in to Las Vegas and so we didn't really celebrate that day, except the cupcakes Jeff surprised me with. So the next night Jeff's sister watched Jane and we went out to eat and to a movie. I can't believe 4 years has gone by so quickly.
The next night Jeff's parents arrived and we went out to eat at a restaurant we always hit while in Henderson. The next night was Christmas Eve. We had a great dinner with prime rib, garlic mashed, salad and lion house rolls that Jeff's mom maid. Oh and a ton of sparkling cider. So delicious.

We did the gift exchange and the kids opened a few presents and then off to bed. Well I was in bed but others were up for a while. The next morning we got up to open gifts in our stockings. 

Jeff is dressed up because we went to church before the real opening began. 

This is a robe that Jeff got free with his purchase of my perfume. Jane was one the one who really scored. You can see a hat my mom made. She also got presents from Chris's family. The stacking cups are a big hit. Jane was pretty oblivious to most of it and still didn't get the concept of opening the presents but it was fun. 

The next day the two other family joined the festivities. It was fun to have so many there. We had a lot of playing video games, cards and mostly eating. Lots and lots of junk food but also some great dinners as well. 

The family tradition is to play a lot of Dr. Mario. I never really play because I just am really horrible but I am amazed at how good some of the family is. I guess they should be for how many years they have been playing. Even Jeff's parents have recently got into playing and spent a bit of time in front of the game this trip. 

One of the great things about being there was how nice the weather was. We went outside most days and to the park one day. 

Jane had a good time with the cousins and conned most everyone into doing two things constantly.

Yes, walking with her and playing/going up and down the stairs. I think that she lived on those stairs when someone wasn't walking her around. She still doesn't want to walk on her own but now wants me to walk with her constantly. She is getting close, though.
Overall, it was a really fun and relaxing trip. I really have a good time with Jeff's family and feel lucky to have been married into a great family. Thanks everyone again for all the gifts.
