'Twas The Day{s} BEFORE Christmas...

As if the holiday season isn't busy enough, I tried to cram in lots of fun activities to keep the boys busy and entertained and hopefully create a few fond memories along the way.

In the past one of our traditions is to make a gingerbread house together as a family. This year Daddy had a fun idea; instead of a house we made a Christmas Train! Of course this was a hit with the boys since they are both huge train fans. It turned out pretty cute but didn't last too long.




The week before Christmas Cole was home from school. One of the days I took the two little guys down to the Mandalay Bay to see the Shark Reef Exhibit. They were doing free photos with Santa Claus and Santa Jaws the day we were there. The boys loved it!




Also that week I talked my sister into going down to the Bellagio to see the Christmas decorations. One solo trip to the strip was enough for this Mama, I need reinforcements. There was a train display in the conservatory and we couldn't get Carson away from it. After checking out the decorations we decided to ride the tram over to check out the new City Center. Carson loved the tram (train) ride. It was the highlight of his day. There wasn't much to see at City Center but it was still a fun adventure.

Yes, outtings with more then one pair of arms is pretty crucial to me too, lol. Looks like a fun day out with the boys - you all are too cute! Love the Christmas train - and the fact that it was eaten before it could make it back to the station ;)
