Christmas in Vegas....for the first time!

Eric and I decided that because our little family is growing and getting older, we wanted to start our own traditions at Christmas time. One of the first things we did was decided to spend each Christmas in our own home in Vegas. In the past we have traveled to Utah or Florida during Christmas. As much as we will miss our families on this holiday, we are excited to be in our own home. We also started some new traditions and carried on some of our families traditions. Enjoy!

Christmas eve lunch....mac n' cheese! Colton decided to forget using his fork and just go for it with his hands, hence the mess.

One of Colton's new favorite things is to go into our bathroom and turn the water on in the bathtub....we caught him a little too late...he was soaked!

Our living room that is connected to the kitchen. We still need to get some furniture in this room.

Our table all decked out for Christmas.

My two cuties!

I made sugar cookies and Colton couldn't wait to get his hands on them....it wasn't even frosted yet!

This was one tradition that Eric was use too. Deb always makes sugar cookies for Christmas. I hope I lived up to Eric's expectations and Deb's.

The finished products.

A new tradition that we started was to read "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."

Another tradition was to watch "A Christmas Story" on Christmas Eve....Colton even sat and watched it with us.

Colton was interested in Daddy's hat.....

He wanted to wear it more than Daddy.

One of my families traditions is to open one Christmas gift on Christmas Eve.

Santa left Colton lots of presents...he must've been a good boy :).

Cookies left for Santa.

Santa enjoyed his cookies and Sprite.

Christmas morning....Colton was a tad overwhelmed by all of his gifts.

One of Colt's favorite gifts...

Colton loves to ride on his truck.

Christmas dinner....yup, I can cook.
