Christmas vactation- Vegas and Disney

Finally! I am so bad about blogging lately- I don't know what my deal is. Thanks to the money we earned from selling puppies, we were able to meet my mom and sister in Vegas for a few days and then spent New Years Eve at Disneyland, which is a mer 4 hour drive from Vegas- nothing for us Wyomingites. Disney was so fun, I think Lance and I had more fun then the kids. I only snapped a few pictures while we were there- I was too busy having fun to take pictures.

Here they all are having a magical experience at the happiest place on earth.

Eli and Eve ridding the train off the movie dumbo.

Isaac loved the train

The tea cups

Another favorite- the Dumbo ride

Eli ridding dumbo. He was old enough to ride by himself- very big!

Eve and I on Dumbo

We took the whole family on the Pirate of the Caribbean ride. We were so excited about it because we loved it as kids, forgetting that it is actually kind of scary and has two big drops in it. We had some wide eyed scared kids by the end of the ride. Elaina didn't seam to mind though.

Eli's favorite part was the Star Wars ride and then we went to Star Wars training. Mom bought each of the kids one toy and Eli choose a double sided light saber he was able to construct and pick the parts him self.

Isaac's favorite ride was the Buzz light year ride. We were able to shoot Zurge and the bad guys on the ride. Isaac of course choose a Buzz light year toy.

Eve's favorite part was the princesses and I actually took some picture of them.
This is Eve and her princess mouse ears- her choice of toys

Eve and Ariel. She was the nicest princess. She told Eve the they should go get a cat together. Thanks Ariel

We took the kids back to the hotel at 6:30, fed them dinner and then left them at the hotel with mom so Lance and I could ring in the new year at Disney land. We ran around around to every ride like a bunch of teenagers. I didn't bring my camera but we went on splash mountain, thunder mountain, Indiana Jones, the Matterhorn and we were on space mountain when the clock hit midnight. It was great

Now onto Vegas. We actually went to Vegas first but I wanted to put the Disney pictures up first.

It was so nice to have mom with us so she could watch the kids and we hit the town with my sister and her husband. This is me winning $10! Woot woot!

We took a Gondola ride at the Venetian. This is Tami and Stewart and our Gondolier.

Lance and I on the gondola ride.

We're so excited to on the strip. I mostly excited to be out without the kids

Ol' Parie- so romantic

Still happy!

Ohhh, ahhh the volcano is so cool. We also watched the water show at the Bellagio but I didn't get a good picture. It was such a fun vacation.

Oh, yea and my sis and I hopped in bed with with the Hef. Ha ha, we actually went to the house of wax also at the Venetian. It was a lot of fun. Here are a few of the wax figures we saw.

Lance and Cameron

Arnold- surprisingly short

Giving Tiger a rub down

Of course I had to get a picture with my buddy Elvis.

By the end of the night Lance told me "Hey I like you! I forgot how fun it was just to hand out with you."

By the time we got home at 6:15am on Saturday the 2nd we were very tired parents. An 16 hour ride with 4 kids was really harsh but we came home with some good memories.
