Picture of the Week: Christmas at Bellagio


The girls had dress up days for school, since it was the last week before break. Grace's teacher sent us this picture of all the kids in their holiday headgear.


We had our Christmas party for all of our field guys at work on Monday, and it was so fun. We always raffle off all kinds of gifts from cash to household products to kids' bikes. It's always fun to watch the guys expressions when they win.



Perry watched Polar Express before bed and loved it.



Grace's class had pajama day on Friday, and they all brought board games to play.



Brielle came over with Grandpa and Grandma, and she and Perry had fun playing with baby dolls.


The girls had a sleepover with Grandpa and Grandma on Saturday. They love when they get to spend time with their cousins. Grandma even let them make cookies!


Sunday morning, we went to the Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. They always change it for every season, and Christmas is the best each year.




The girls' favorite part was the train. They loved waiting for it to come around and got excited every time.










While we were there, we had to stop by the chocolate fountain. I always dream of being able to just lay under it and eat allll the chocolate.


After the Bellagio, we headed to the movie theater to watch The Grinch. It was super cute, and Perry ate her weight in popcorn. She also had a hotdog, some sour straws, an Icee, and Dibs.




She passed out with about five minutes left of the movie, and Daddy had to carry her out.


We had plans to drive around, drink hot cocoa, and check out everyone's Christmas lights that night. Unfortunately, all of the junk from the movies caught up to Perry, and she started throwing up. We decided to stay home to be safe, and she slept on me for most of the night. She was fine the next morning, thank goodness!


We had a fun week getting ready for Christmas! We can't wait to celebrate it next week. See ya then!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute

Mommy-Daughter Night

Thursday night, Isaac went to play poker with some of Sunstate's biggest customers (and soon to be customers). Since he left around 4:30 and didn't come home until well after Grace and I were asleep, we got to have a whole mommy-daughter night! I get to spend every night with her, but having quality time with just the two of us is pretty rare. This means that nights alone with mom get to be extra special treats for both of us! When Daddy left, Grace asked "ah da da?" about one hundred times. Once she got over the fact that he was gone, we had a lot of fun. We started the night out watching Wall-E and building castles out of Mega Blocks. Then, Grace helped me unload the dishwasher while our dinner finished cooking: She's the best helper ever! We had pasta, corn, garlic bread, and cut up Beddar Cheddar brats for dinner; some of Grace's favorite things: After that it was bath time.  Once she got all clean, we played with her Dora foam soap. Grace really

Junior Ranger Day

Saturday was Junior Ranger Day at the Water Safety Center at Lake Mead.   Isaac's brother, Zacarias, was working and invited us to come down and check it out.   We're always up for anything that the girls might have fun at, so we got ready and headed down to the lake. It was right next to where my parents dock their boat, so it was pretty easy to find.   When we first got there, Grace was a little shy and skeptical about everything. It took her a while to warm up.   We found Uncle Zac by the fire truck and Grace hesitantly climbed inside with him:     She was a little afraid until I took her to the front of the trucks and showed her the lights. Then she thought it was "sooo cool!"       Charley was pretty curious and kept wanting to check everything out:       Grace saw Uncle's helmet and thought that was pretty neat. Then Daddy checked it out, too:       Since Charley was so curious, Daddy gave her a b
