On Saturday, December 3 we went to see the Christmas lights at the Botanical Cactus Gardens here in Vegas. It is right by the Ethel M. Chocolates Factory. After we walked around to see all the lights, we got a complimentary chocolate.
It even felt like Christmas because it was actually cold outside.
Here's the happy couple. These lights are not quite as classy as the Temple Square lights, but we are definitely gonna go next year!
Merry Christmas!!
On Wednesday, Dec. 7 we had our Pre-K Winter Program. The kids all wore hats and scarfs. After months of practicing, they did a nice job for their parents!
On Friday, December 9 our friends gave us free tickets to go see 'Phantom of the Opera' at the Venetian. Wow, it did not disappoint. It was powerful. The Phantom hung from the spinning chandelier that was above our heads. It felt like we were in the actual opera house. Pretty impressive.
Then we walked around the Venetian and watched the awesome gondola rides going by. They even have people singing on them...pretty romantic.
On Sunday, Dec. 11 we made sugar cookies. Greg was very persistent that we make them this year. We had a really good time. We found out that the more cookies you make, the more you have to frost, and with only two people that can be a lot! I look fat in this picture...enjoy. Oh, and that's our Christmas tree...
On Saturday, Dec. 17 we went to the temple. This is the nativity outside of the Las Vegas Temple. Very beautiful.
On Saturday night we went to our Ward Christmas Party. They asked us to be Mary and Joseph. It was kind of special for us. I even got to hold a real baby (only a month and half old!) It was good practice.
One of our favorite parts of living here is seeing the palms trees with all the Christmas lights. We think they are so pretty. Merry Christmas from Las Vegas!

You need to go out to Lake Las Vegas out west of Henderson and go for a gondola ride out there. One of the most romantic things I've ever done. The ride is an hour long with martinelli's and godiva chocolates.
