Thanksgiving in Vegas

We were able to go to Las Vegas this Thanksgiving and spend the holiday with our family. We had a GREAT time. Our kids absolutely LOVED it. It seriously takes a couple of days for our kids to get over leaving after spending so much time with them. I am so happy that our kids feel so comfortable with their cousins and that they all get along so well.
On one of the days, we made the mistake to venture down to the Strip to go to the Bellagio. I thought Robb was going to have a heart attack on the way there. It took a couple of hours and a fight with another driver later, but we made it inside.

What cuties!
In the Bellagio, if you haven't been there, when you first walk in, they have these really awesome glass flowers hanging from the ceiling. Robb had this great idea to take the picture with me on my knees with the camera pointing up at the ceiling. Other than me looking like a fool on the floor of the Bellagio, the picture turned out pretty cool. Robb is so creative.

This is right before we totally gorged ourselves with turkey and goodies. This Kelly family can't tell the other Kelly families (even if your last night has changed) how much we enjoy spending our special days with you. Matt and Samantha opened up their home and hearts to a TON of people and kept their cool the ENTIRE time. I was honestly worried a couple of times because there were a TON of kids and even more mess. But Matt and Sam's hospitality is remarkable...they didn't threaten to kill anyone at any point. They probably had to go to bed at night and scream in their pillows, but they always woke up with a smile of their face.

Oh my gosh! I freaking LOVE Kaid, he looks so good doing that! You have to tell me when he has another performance and I'll try to come. Thanksgiving was fun, I'm so glad you stayed another day!

We are so glad everyone came down! Crazy as we are we love to have company. It was great to have you stay one more day.

Art Show

Tonight was Cooper and Connor's Art Show which displayed all the art work they completed this summer during Rachel Waters' art class. They started about 5 weeks ago and completed a different art project every week. Tonight, family got to come and see their projects on display. It was so fun. Cooper and Connor are very artistic and love to create. Rachel, their art teacher, was awesome. She came up with the cutest projects and helped ignite their creativity. It was a great experience and I'm so proud of their great work!!
