Christmas Eve with the lil ones....

Check out these cute kids in their matching PJs.

My adorable cousins, Drake and Sara Kaitlyn. The guy in the middle is my brother, Luke.

Week before Christmas, and all through the house...

I'm very fortunate that I did not have to work Thanksgiving or Christmas this year, much less get a week off to spend with my family this Christmas.

I drove home Monday morning and presented the family with a bundle of candies, chocolate covered everything. Sheri has introduced me to the candy-making business. Not to hard to do, and yummy in the tummy. Sheri, my family thanks you.
Tuesday, I went shopping with my mom and sisters...very unproductive morning, but quality time laughing and poking fun with each other.
Today, while the rest of the house sleeps, mom and I are headed out on our own. Should be a full day of exhausting shopping.
Thursday, Megan and I are....you guessed it, shopping for mom. Thursday night is game night with the Jones Family (the boy-friend's family). I'll be sure to get pictures, maybe I will be able to catch the long awaited proof that Brian and Megan cheat in spades and Phase 10.
Friday is the company party. Sheri's parents, every year, have this huge Christmas party which includes ribs, a ton of potato salad, and more yummy goodness. It is always a good time, not to mention that I get to visit with people that I haven't seen since last year's party. No telling what will happen forklifts, shopping carts, nothing is impossible. This is Christine driving a forklift last year.

Matchmaker

I can't wait for my pup to meet the newest addition to the clan, meet Bella.

More Vegas

Here are a few more pics from Vegas. I have alot more on a real camera, but those might take some time to post.
One of the last days Kelsey and I decided to check the headquarters for M&Ms and Cola. Pretty cool place, and we got our picture with the polar bear.


Just thought I would share this interesting art thingy inside our hotel/casino.

Vegas

No trip would be complete without a picture with Elvis.
More pics to come, stay tuned.

Ghost Bar, here I come.

I a matter of minutes I'm leaving for the airport...destination Vegas.
I wanted to catch you up on my week. Last day of residency was Wednesday. Thursday Sheri and I went shopping and managed to catch a movie. Friday, we babysat some kids from church, a night of hide-n-seek, coloring, and I Spy. My pup also had surgery on Friday. He managed to swallow a Christmas ornament, which hurt his stomach pretty bad, but he's fine now.
Jana's wedding shower was last night. Very pretty, and the food was fab. The rest of my time this weekend was spent packing and sleeping.
I'm sure next week, I will have many stories to report.
Should be a blast. See you when I get back.
