BAKING!

This weekend was the first chance I have had to do some baking. It just doesn't feel like Christmas with out having family over and making cookies. I was able to spend some time with my mom and chad on Friday night making Grandma Audrey's farmhouse cookie dough. They have to cool overnight so I didn't get to make them until Saturday, but they sure are yummy. It was fun to have my parents to myself, it doesn't happen very much anymore. It really did make me miss my sister though. On Saturday Kiel's family came over and we made chocolate chip cookies, a gingerbread train, and some chocolate candies. We had a great time. It was nice to be surrounded by family for the weekend, especially coming into the final stretch before Christmas.

Let it snow! Let it snow!

I know you won't believe it that is why I am adding photos, but it snowed in Las Vegas!! We do live close to Mt Charleston and that is why we got so much snow, but it was still pretty cool to have snow. There was between 4 and 6 inches depending on where you were at. All I can say is it has to be freezing to get snow! I don't remember it ever being that cold in Vegas. The temp that my car was reading was 38 degrees!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIEL!!

Last Saturday was Kiel's birthday so played pool with his family and friends. Then we went back to his sisters and had cake (his mom baked it for him). It was nice to go out without Drew. It has been a while!

Boulder City Park

A couple of weekends ago Garrett spent the night with us. So we decided to go to the park out in Boulder City to show Drew the bighorn sheep and have A&W for lunch. We had a great time. Drew loves to play on the swing and slide. Kiel and Garrett had fun throwing the football. We started a game of horse on the basketball court and it was obvious that short people should not play basketball.
