Las Vegas Fun

(before I get to the LV fun, I have to share something funny that happened when we went and saw the temple lights in AZ-
Dave: Jaxon, do you want to go see baby Jesus?
Jaxon: Umm,...Well...King Harrod gonna be there???
(Jaxon is enthralled and disturbed by the Living Scriptures and Harrod wanting to kill ALL the baby boys!)

We are absolutely LOVING our time here in Vegas! It is so relaxing to be with loved ones, and not at your own house where you have so many responsibilities!
We got in Sunday evening and had a delicious "Christmas dinner" with several of Dave's siblings and their families. It was a crazy, chaotic time, and it was wonderful! We decided that everyday we would do at least one family/Christmas activity, so Monday after everything settled down a little, I took Kim and Dustin's (Dave's sis and husband) family pics at the temple. (The LV temple has some GREAT photo spots!) and then we went to the BELLAGIO to see the water show! Jaxon was ENTHRALLED!!! It was so neat to see it with him! The first set we saw He watched from Dad's arms, and then we went in and saw the gardens- gorgeous! The second water show he got to enjoy from the vantage point of Grandpa's shoulders, you never saw a happier kid. Jaxon has a special place in his heart for his Papa's, and they love it! Today (Tuesday) we are going to decorate Gingerbread houses with cousins, and then decorate Sugar cookies. Tonight we are going to go caroling (I'm excited because Ive never been!) and delivering those sugar cookies! Wed. is a huge family Christmas Eve. dinner with all of Dave's cousins/aunts/uncles in the area. I am loving LOVING LOVING this holiday!

Glad you're getting to relax and have fun! Me I'm still running around like crazy trying to finish up shopping. Enjoy sin city!

I can't believe you've never been caroling. Aren't you in YW? Haven't you been in YW for awhile? It must be because you have no snow, so it doesn't really seem like Christmas, so you skip caroling.

I also don't believe the "i've never been caroling." You certainly have been caroling. Even I who hate singing in public has been caroling as a youth activity.
