Today was CRAZY BUSY! It started off with a 6:45 doctors appointment to get a stupid knee brace. Came home and made cinnamon rolls. Packed up and headed off to Jade's company Christmas party. Here are the cousins outside LVP playing.
Here comes the helicopter!!!! SOOOOOOO exciting!!!!!
SANTA was on the helicopter!!! Seriously, nothing is quite as exciting as when Santa flies in on a helicopter and unloads with his elves holding a giant bag of presents that he's about to deliver. Nothing. It gives me the goosebumps every time.
Santa then proceeds to go into the Las Vegas Paving corporate office and hands out gifts to all the kids.
Santa made Pace sit on his lap for the photo op. I love Santa!
Jacki was busy telling Santa what she wanted for Christmas this year.
Jacki opening her present... judging from the look on her face she's happy!
The girls got smash books and Pace got Stance socks. Er'one is happy.
More cousin pictures. Were outside waiting our turn to ride on the helicopter.
I'm pretty sure this is the best picture I've ever taken of my boys. Just look at them. Oh my goodness they are cute!
One more "waiting for the helicopter" picture.
And we're off! It is nothing short of amazing when that thing takes off and all of the sudden you're flying high above Las Vegas.
Pace and Taylor called "shot gun" in the helicopter!
The pilot flew us up and down the strip. Such an amazing view from so high up.
I cannot believe how lucky we are that we got to ride in a helicopter for Christmas! The party was perfect minus that fact that Bailey wasn't there with us. I don't like it when we are missing people from the team.
We came home from the LVP party and loaded up for the Thomson family Christmas party. The grandkids always act out the nativity scene while Grandpa reads from the bible. These two dorks were supposed to be roman soldiers. They made quick work of making their breastplates into plates. Then they got plastic forks and spoons and ate out of them. Like I said before.... dorks.
Every year one of my kids is the sheep. Of course this is my animal preference!! Jacki is the obvious choice here... she can make a baby lamb noise that is spot on! Even Grandpa Pace approves.
Bailey and Savannah doing the "yeet" or whatever it is sign. Why can't the shepherds just watch their flocks and look at the star? Is this too much to ask?
And now we move on to the angels... Jade was wondering just what kind of angels Taylor and Fallon represent?!
Jacki did her baby lamb impersonation so many times all of the Thomson family collectively voted that the she should go back to her field (in the other room).
The three not so Wise Men. Kylie's boyfriend in the back was the star. He was the hit of the play this year. Jade kept asking him if he had a good idea.
The whole nativity gang....
Grandpa in his usual spot reading the bible and announcing who gets to exchange presents.
Bailey and her present from Savannah
And Pace opening his present from I don't remember.
WHAT A FABULOUS DAY!!!
