Vegas Trip part 2

Wes gave me my Christmas present early (a camera, see previous post where I lost my camera at Disneyland...) here are a few of the pictures of what we did on our trip. I didn't realize how many pictures I had taken, it was hard to narrow it down and there are still a ton of pictures...

Lauren loves to eat snow!

Having fun on the swing before going sledding.

Santa, Doo-Dad and the Lauren elf (Wes thinks these masks are creepy)

Hanging out with the cousins, I love all of their expressions I think they were eating fruit snacks.
Snow Angel

Cute girls warming up by the fire with hot cocoa after playing in the snow. Lauren, Addison, Tig, and Cam

The night before Christmas day Katie and I stayed up late crafting. She taught me how to make the black apple dolls, they are really easy and adorable. I have not made another one yet but it is on the top of my to-do list!

Christmas with the Farrer Family

The turkey, chasing the kids (and now adults) around with the turkey before cooking it has been a long standing tradition in the Farrer family, I run and hide when ever I hear the turkey is being prepared...

Sorry it is a little blurry I wouldn't get very close so I had to zoom...
Grandma, Ben and Lauren making the yams, Lauren spent lots of time in the kitchen helping us cook.
Lauren helping with the dessert, and then the clean up...

Christmas eve dinner. It was so much fun and really yummy!!! We had all of my siblings, my Grandma and Grandpa, Uncle Greg and Gerrie, and my cousins Russ and Eliza with Eliza's sister and her hubby. It was a full house but was just like I remember as a kid!

The "kids" table
Lots of stockings I think there are 2 or 3 more behind the couch
I had to post this one with Mariah's footie pj's. I made the doll Lauren is holding thank-you Katie for teaching me!
Lots of presents! Yes this is a remote control bobcat, Lauren loves cars and boy stuff as much as the dolls so we got her both...
Wes got a remote control helicopter and as you can see he was excited! He has had lots of fun with it!

All of my siblings, L-R Ben (my twin), Justin, Mariah (back), Nathan, Bob, Me...

Christmas at the Cairns...
We headed down the mountain for round 2 of Christmas with the Cairns. We had a blast with everyone and there were tons more gifts! Two of my favorite traditions are that we all get chocolate coins and Dad's spiritual thought before we open presents.
Lauren, Crysti and Nat hanging out

Cami, Crysti, Allison and I had a night of crafting while we were there, we made lots of fun things. I taught them how to make tutu's, bows and the pendants that we did for Super Saturday, I didn't take any pictures unfortunately but we had a great time and laughed a ton!

Although I didn't get to see everyone that I wanted to while we were in Vegas I did get together with Hayley and Kori at the Cheesecake Factory (yummm) We all served on Junior Staff for girls camp along with Amanda Slade Coon. We had the best time back in the day and at dinner. I seriously love these girls!

We went out to Famous Daves with my Dad and Nate before they left town it was so yummy, we don't have much in the way of real BBQ up here so it was a real treat!
For New Years we went to our friends Brian and Marixa Mills house. We had lots of fun eating steaks, ice cream and lots of other yummy stuff, playing the Wii and just hanging out with fun people!

Here are Lauren and Mia sharing a plate of carrots before dinner

Homemade ice cream it was soooo good!
Unfortunately this is the only picture I got with most of the people that were there in it...

Lauren devouring her ice cream

Marixa with her bull horns! It was late...

Lauren actually stayed up all the way 'till midnight. She borrowed a pair of pjs from Mia in the hopes she would conk out but she was having to much fun! She fell asleep as soon as she got in her car seat though! Thanks for the great time!!!
