We had such a fun time with everyone...Kayden (one of Craig's cousins...don't know how to spell his name) had this CRAZY geco that Craig held.
We also played Rock Band, a boardgame called Ticket to Ride (which I now want), played with the dogs (they have a cute little dog named Charlie), watched movies, and enjoyed singing together (G'pa, Paul, and Kent all love to sing). Cricket LOVED all the attention...and enjoyed G'ma and G'pa
On BLACK Friday...we did a little bit of shoping (very little...it's too crazy these days). Kent did some black Friday shopping for some SWEET gifts, and since we are not going to be with them this Christmas he decided to give us our present that day. He got us a Playstation 3 (which is also a BlueRay player). Craig of course was stoked...he has wanted one for over a year. So we were very happy and felt very lucky that he would buys us such a BIG gift, but then everyone was joking about how the gift is really just for Craig (because Playstation games are too hard for me...too many buttons to press). SO, when we were packing up our cars to get ready to go Kent said "Cyndi, since the playstation is mostly for Craig here is something for you." and he starts pulling something out of his car. It was the top of the line Mono-Pod (like a tri-pod but only one leg)...I was WAY excited because I have actually wanted one for a long time. We are so LUCKY...Thanks SO Much!!!!! Also, on Friday Craig, Cricket, and I took a little walk/hike in the red rock mountains, which was SO fun...it was funny to see SO many families taking their family pictures there. So we took a couple self portraits.
One of my FAVORITE moments of the weekend was G'pa and Craig playing the Saxaphone together. Craig played the the Sax from middle school until his freshman year so he was a LITTLE rusty but it was still so fun to see them do it together. G'pa hasn't played in 6 years or so (he plays the guitar the most now) and even though it has been a while he still busted out a few songs...it was such a wonderful moment!
G'pa has 2 saxaphones...they are both old and beautiful...but the older one just AMAZES me...
We had SUCH a great time with the BROADHEADS! Here is a picture before we took off of everyone but Darla (someone has to take the picture right?)
Of course we stoped by G'ma and G'pa's before we left to say good bye and have a nice little visit. G'pa sang us a fun song about getting old and we all sang some Christmas Carols together. They are such WONDERFUL people. We love you G'ma and G'pa BROADHEAD!
All the Broadhead boys...3 generations.
On Saturday (11/29) instead of going straight home we stopped in Las Vegas to visit with Tricia and her family and my parents who where there for Thanksgiving. We took the boys to the Bellagio to see the gardens...it was amazing!
We then went to see a "Gingerbread City" thinking that it was going to be a huge thing that we could walk through or something like that come to find out it was tiny but hey...it was an adventure. Shane and Uncle Craig had some fun even though the "city" was a dud.
Trevor...so disappointed.
But we finished the evening off with a fun event...the Clark County Million lights drive...It was so cool. First we saw Frosty before we paid. Then it was TONS of different light displays.
Such as ELVIS...what is Vegas with out Elvis?
Choo Choo Trains with toys...
And of course Santa Bringing them to you down the chimney. It was a fun evening with the boys (Tricia and Damon went out for his birthday)...after all the adventures we went back to their house and watched Meet Dave.
On the way home...through the short cut we looked for the Shoe Tree (which we knew about from Tara and Jon who had seen it before). We have taken this route but never seen it until NOW...Unfortunately some of the branches have fallen due to the weight of all these CRAZY shoes but it is still interesting.

Woohoo! Two in two days!!! How exciting. It sounds like you guys had a totally fun Thanksgiving. That is funny about the gingerbread city. Hmmmm. That tree is cool. Chris says it has been there forever! He remembers seeing it as a kid. :)
I am so sad that I can't be in 2 places at one time! Thanksgiving in St. George looked so amazing! I would have loved seeing Craig play the saxophone with Grandpa!(can Craig still play?*S*). I'm glad ya'll had such a nice time. I miss ya'll!
