We loved being able to take time off for Christmas and New Years.
For Christmas this year we visited David's family in Las Vegas.
On Christmas Day after present opening with David's sister's family (our hosts), we headed to David's grandparent's home for a family tradition of omelette flipping. It was quite the scene with nearly forty family members gathered together.
A highlight for us was getting together with the cousins. David has two cousins he's always been close with who are both married now and living in different places. We always have a lot of laughs when we are together. One night, after a long conversation, we ended up creating a Meme that would later be featured on the BYU Memes page.
A trip to Las Vegas isn't a trip to Vegas without visiting the Bellagio to see the gardens and the fountain.
Las Vegas also has many great food options-- Zupas, Cafe Rio, Gordan Ramsay's BurGR, Hash House A-Go-Go, Buffalo Wild Wings, and homemade meals from family...needless to say we each put on a few pounds during the trip.
We got back to the Seattle area for New Years and welcomed the new year with a few of our best friends. That night we played "Cliche Action-Movie Bingo"; we brainstormed cliche action movie scenes, printed bingo scorecards, and called out cliches as we watched Expendables 3. Charity won within the first hour of the film.
