My grandparents took most of the Maraotz clan to Vegas to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary and Thanksgiving. I am very thankful for having such a great family! We had a good trip, a bit hectic at times but overall good!
The plane ride there was fine but the trip home was rough, they were both so tired and therfore a little naughty. Eric and I were glad to land in Idaho Falls, all though sad we couldn't stay.
This picture is out of order but it cetainly is cute!

Swimming fun for the whole family.
The Marsden gals
Me and my gals
Emma's jump from the cliff as she called it, really just a rock, but cliff sounds so much better and makes her sound brave!
Bowling babes! We bowled a total of four games while on vacation. Eric beat me once and I beat him once, it was only by one point but that's all it takes.
The ball barely made it but she had fun!
By the end of the trip, Emma was using the finger holes instead of just rolling the ball.
She had to wear dresses all but one day while on vaca. And not just plain dresses, they had to be sparkly to match her "groovy red slippers"
cute cousins who are great posers!
More cute cousins at the boling alley.
now the little cousings at the bowling alley.
FUN on Fremont Street. This is where Emma saw the dancing girls and was very curious about them dancing on tables and wondering if they were wearing swimsuits. YES they were!
Emma and Grandma before the Lion King at the Mandalay Bay. The highlight of the trip for her was the show, she now roars and calls herself Nala. Yesterday at Preschool she drew a lion, an elephant and a giraffe and I have to say she is quite the artist.
AND NOW ONTO CHRISTMAS DECOR at our house!
Some of my favorites...
I love this wreath and decided this year to put it on an easel instead of on the wall.
I love snowmen so when I saw this at Mom's, I had to have it.
This is a big ball that hangs about eight feet down from the ceiling fan in our family room, we call it the kissing ball so whenever someone is under it, they get kissed.

The traditional Christmas wreath...that really needs a bow. It's a good thing my mom doesn't look at my blog :-) I love COSTCO for many reasons but this time of year, it's cuz of their great-smelling good'ol traditional Christmas wreaths.
The best for last..............my NEW 9ft tree! I LOVE it so much. Finally a tree in my house that looks good. When ya have 17 ft ceilings a regular tree just doesn't do the trick. I really need to get out the ladder and put some decorations at the top of the tree!
~HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL~

Cute Christmas Decor and looks like a fun trip to Vegas! Whitneys cheeks have been getting really rosy lately and we finally fiqured out that she is getting in her 2 year old molars (no, she is not 2 yet) and whenever they are bothering her, her cheeks turn pinkish! Ouchie!
Maybe that's the case! Elly has 16 now so does that mean the the two year molars are 17-20?
Hahaha I didnt even notice the lack of clothes in that pic till you said something! Im just so use to my children being halfed dressed all the time. For some reason they all hate clothes! And yes we do need to get together soon. Girls night!! Looks like you guys are having a great start to the holiday!
Happy Birthday!!
