OUR WINTER BREAK/VACATION
We have had such a wonderful Christmas break, it is seriously hard to see it come to an end. We started the first week of the break off on Monday with a trip to the eye doctor, we all have good eyes (except Matt of course) Yea! Then we went to the Las Vegas Mini Gran Prix. Lindsey won a package that was worth $98 for free (for being student of the month). Then Tuesday was Dave's office party, and Lindsey's first babysitting gig with Spencer and Sam, it was fun for her! By the way, Lindsey is a FULL FLEDGED babysitter now for anyone looking for a GREAT babysitter! Then Wednesday was Christmas Eve. We went and saw BOLT 3D, it was cute, and then came home to have our feast, which was appetizers and desserts this year. After that we did a great Christmas program complete with assignments from Dave for each of us to do a musical number and a reading. Then we watched "It's a Wonderful Life" and went to bed anxiously awaiting Santa... and guess what? He came!!!! The kids had a wonderful Christmas and after we cleaned up we took off for Cedar City around 3 p.m. We got there in time to have Christmas dinner with my Dad, LeeAnn, Nathan, Scott, Pam, Abbey, Kelsey, Sarah and Steve. We spent 2 days there and enjoyed seeing Grandpa again! Then on Saturday we headed up to PROVO. We did a lot of fun things while we were there including sledding, skiing, snow shoeing, playing games, a GIANT family gift exchange, movies, jacuzzi, puzzles, ping pong, gingerbread houses, many dinners, We even got to have dinner with Tim, Jalene, Sydney, Mike, Sam, Kristi, Dave and kids and LeeAnn and Dale, and then our awesome 10th ANNUAL New Year's Eve Family Dance!!! It was really a great time! Even though 31 people had the stomach flu and barfed all over Cheri and Debbie's houses, we managed to still have a BLAST! Thanks to Cheri& Bry and Debbie & Rob for their hospitality as usual, and for being such good sports! Dave and I were commenting on the way home how lucky we and our kids are to be able to have so much fun on our Christmas breaks- a whole week of playing and being with our family! It's AWESOME!!! It was a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR... Here are a few pics of the fun.

Truly--the best of times!! Thanks for chillin' with us! I think the barf-o-rama added a little pizazz. You know--since we didn't already have enough!
What a SUPER fun Christmas! It sounds like your family really knows how to have a good time!
Looks like a great time!

Fun times indeed! Memories upon memories. The best was the extra surprise bonus day we got to spend with you in Vegas! It was so refreshing to hear the laughs of Les & Dave as we told Nathan and John stories that were all true! You're the best! Thanks for getting us out of the Las Vegas airport!
Man, that sounds like a tons of fun. I really need to be more creative when the family is around. I can't believe our girls are old enough to babysit. YEAH!!!
Leslie, I just had to do a little blog-stalking to see how your Christmas was. Looks like you had so much. It is a lot of work to do so much, but oh so fun. I also had to leave you a comment because the other day Luke started talking about Las Vegas and remembering all of his friends. He said that Ellie was his best friend in Las Vegas, and he wondered what she looked like now. I told him he could look at her blog to see if she had changed very much since we moved. What a laugh. It is funny what kids remember and think about.
You really are lucky to have such fun family to hang out with. Looks like great times!
