We had a wonderful Christmas! Our trip to Las Vegas was fun before Christmas. Even though Eli had warned me, I still wasn't prepared for all of the blatant pornography that was there. People work standing on the sidewalks handing out little cards of girls hardly dressed. But, if you can somehow block that out, it's kind of a cool place. It's not really one that I want to return to over and over, but I'd love to go back to Boulder to visit the family that's there. Eli and I went down to the strip by ourselves on Friday night and met up with Tom and Whitney there. It was fun to see them and to have a friendly face in Vegas. We watched three of the water shows at the Bellagio, which was my favorite thing there. One of the songs was "Sleigh Ride" and another was a Rachmonivof piece which is one of my favorite classical songs ever, Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. It was cool. Then Eli and I went into some really fancy stores there. At Armani they had a mens tee shirt, just a cotton shirt, nothing special on it at all. It was $300! Then we saw some beautiful dresses at Prada, yeah, those were about $4,000. Yikes! But Saturday in Vegas was really fun because it was a fun family day. Eric took us all to breakfast at a buffet, and then we went to Mikey's baptism. That was really nice, he was so excited and it was such a nice time. Then we had a lunch/dinner thing after that. It was fun and the food was so good. The guys went to the BYU game and I stayed and napped and then we took the kids home, looked at lights, and then we went to a walk through cactus garden that was decorated with lights. It was really neat. We had to go home the next day though, so it was a short trip. I'd like to go back and visit Lisa, Eric and the kids for longer. They're really fun and the kids are so cute. Anna slept with me and Eli the first night we were there at the hotel. She's so cute and Emily the little baby has grown a lot since we saw her in the summer.
Well, I think in order to use my time at work more effeciently, and to keep lengths of posts down and readers interests up, I will do another post tomorrow chronicling our Idaho part of the trip! It was so much fun. Here's what's in store: treacherous roads, fun family times, a sledding accident, and our first Christmas!!!!!!
Until tomorrow!

Wow, I did not know that you two went to Las Vegas. I can believe the blatant pornography that you said was there. It's sad. If Ben and I ever go I'll ask you where we can go to avoid all that stuff. (If there is a place to avoid it...) Anyway, I guess I can ruin the surprise. It's just a picture in a picture frame of Ben and I. I miss you too! I wish I could hang out with you and Eli. He seems fun! Well I love you and enjoy your break while you can before school starts again!!!
