Family Vegas Trip!

We left Christmas evening to head to the airport.  The games Grandma Mayberry game us were perfect to kill time before getting on the plane. 

Arrived! 

The Sphere is so cool! 

First night we had dinner at Black Tap. 

It was so good then we shared one of their amazing shakes!

The next morning, we got up and went to brunch before heading to our spa day! 

Matt got a massage and shave while Madi and I enjoyed a massage, facial, pedicure and blowout! 

While Madi finished getting ready for dinner, Matt and I found a place with great drinks. 

After dinner at Delmonico, Madi and I shopped at the Fashion Show Mall across from our hotel. 

We had to take pictures on the bridge on the way back!

We met Matt for gelato before going to bed!  We were tired! 

The next morning we had a great brunch again before heading out for a day of shopping.  Matt went downtown to gamble and Madi and I went to Town Square and the South and North Outlets. 

Started looking at prom dresses since May will be here before we know it!

We had dinner at Yardbird but our reservation was later so Matt and Madi made a before-dinner run to Donutique! 

Then we headed home Saturday after another yummy brunch! It was a quick 3 night trip but we packed in a lot of fun, relaxation and shopping! 

 

Christmas Eve & Christmas Morning!

The Tullos Family invited us all over for homemade cinnamon rolls and sausage balls on Christmas Eve. 

Loved Kamden's personalized wrapping paper!

Madi and Maci also loved the hot chocolate bar they had set up!

We were all there but I didn't get any other pictures since I was busy eating and visiting.

Then we headed to church for the Christmas Eve service.  

We ended the service with candlelight.  So beautiful. 

We came home and cooked fajitas!  Then opened presents!

We had to get Tuck a towel warmer when we saw it at Costco.  He always loved using ours when he was over. 

Such a fun, wonderful night!

Christmas morning, Matt made a yummy breakfast casserole and sausage balls. 

They were both amazing and we loved having Uncle Rod and Grandma come over again. 

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Painting!

Sunday afternoon after escaping, we played a little Left Right Center and a few other games!

Then Morgan and the Tullos girls came over for our Christmas Painting and dinner. 

I told Matt we have to get a picture of our 3 flower girls in our wedding with their first babies! 

Getting ready to paint! 

Madi's finished product!  Everyone's painting was so good and unique! 

Before everyone left for the night, we had to do the coke taste challenge!  Tripp and Maddie got them all right!  And it was pretty tough with Diet Coke, Coke, Coke Zero and Pepsi in the mix! 

December 23rd:  Fred left a lot of candy for the cousins to go to the movies later that afternoon!

But first, the Tullos girls joined us again for gingerbread house decorating! 

They had a lot of fun and did great work! 

Madi usually gets frustrated when decorating but not this year.  She did amazing on this house!

Monday afternoon, we met Uncle Rod and Grandma Mayberry at the movies to see Red One! 

After the movie,  no one was very hungry so later in the evening we went and picked up some wings and fries.  This is what greeted us when we got home.  Scared me to death!  Guess Madi was hungry and tired of waiting. :) 

Then we jumped in Matt's truck and headed for ice cream at J's and to look at lights.  Madi and Tuck love annoying each other. :) 

This is how I still picture them . . . 

December 24th:  Fred has high hopes that Madi will win big!  So far, she's won $23! 

Matt and I have enjoyed the escape advent calendar every day.  Madi not as much. :) 

Whew. And it's not even Christmas yet.
