Merry Christmas!

We took the kids to see the lights at the Ethel M cactus garden.

As usual, the kids got WAY more presents then they wanted or deserved. :)

Santa brought them both a Nintendo DS and the usual surprise in the fish tank.

This year it was a dinosaur, go figure.

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas too!

The Godfather, part IV

Ever feel like someone is trying to send you a message?

I'm not a big fan of the cats, specifically Clover, who is mean and hateful and who hisses and growls at me every time I try and move her off my bed.

While Ryan insists girl cats bring you gifts to show their love, I can't help but think there is an ulterior motive behind her "gift" the other night, on MY side of the bed

(LUCKILY on the floor!)

The pigeon is easily the same size as Clover, and yet she was able to murder it without any blood or any sign of the fatal wound and bring it in through the cat door, which is squished behind the kitchen table, carry it upstairs and place it strategically next to my bed for me to find.

Very clever and very scary.......but I think this was the plan.

The Count Down's on!

The kids are getting very anxious for Christmas!

We took them to Santa to place their orders.

The best place in LV to go see Santa is the Bass Pro Shops.

It's very red-neck, but there is so much fun and cool stuff to do, even for the "City Boy".
