Las Vegas Here We Come!

One of our neighbors asked Chad to pick up a present from the BYU bookstore for her son. This always turns expensive for us because whenever Chad goes there, he always sees stuff the kids "need". This time was no different and he came home with a bag full of presents. (The stuff was 25% off, so he just couldn't resist!). Since it was close to Christmas however, I made him wait to give them to the kids. However, he couldn't quite make it all the way until Christmas because he decided they needed to open them before we left for Las Vegas so they could wear them on the trip. So, we wrapped them on Thursday night and left them under the tree. (There will probably be no more presents under the tree until Christmas morning because the kids begged for 36 hours to open their presents. They just couldn't stand seeing the presents sitting there waiting to be opened!)
Saturday afternoon we finally conceded and let them open them, after cautioning them that they weren't toys! (I was a little concerned they would be disappointed because they were expecting toys. I should have known better. At my house, BYU gear is just as fun as toys!)
Addy is going to have no problems on Christmas morning. She knows how to rip the paper and get right to the good stuff!
Then it was Emily's turn. She also has no problem getting presents opened. We could be done opening presents in record time on Christmas morning!
And once Cole saw the other two open their presents, he knew exactly what was in his box as well!
Chad does an excellent job picking out cute things for them, however he likes to make sure that they can wear them for as long as possible, so he usually gets them a size or two larger than they actually wear! Oh well, they don't seem to mind too much!
And just because they are cute!!
I also got to open a new present to take with me to Las Vegas! This is the last picture taken with my old camera! Bring on better zoom and a faster refresh. My kids are in even more trouble now!! Pictures, pictures, and more pictures!
Las Vegas Bowl, we are ready for you!
