Kalah put on a robe with a baby underneath and a blanket on her and called herself the Virgin Mary. I think that says it all!

Day 7 of Christmas Memories
Every year my family takes a trip to the Magical Forest at Opportunity Village. We have done it every year since it has opened. I love to see all the trees decorated by the different businesses. The rides and activities are usually fun. The racing slopes (the big slide with the potato sacks), the train, sledding on real snow, and merry go round (haven't done that one though since I was little). I love to look at the gingerbread houses that are made by the chefs at different casinos. But...a long with everything else it is getting really expensive to go though. We usually get tickets from my aunts work but they didn't get any this year so hopefully we will still get to go.

Day 6 of Christmas Memories
This is a countdown calendar that my Great Grandma Dee made for my Aunt LeAnn when she was little. Once we were born my aunt passed it to us. How it works: You untie a ribbon everyday starting with the bottom one December 1st and when you get to the snowman it's CHRISTMAS!! Since we are older now the daycare kids untie them during their circle time. I am kind of sad because now that LeAnn has kids we might have to give it back. Not that I still untie the bows but it is still a memory that is put on the wall every year and with out it our decor wouldn't be complete.

NFR Week In Vegas
Yesterday kicked off the NFR. This is one of my favorite things of the year even though I have never got to go. The reason I have so much fun this week is because my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins come into town. We hang out all weekend and just laugh and have a good time.
This year my cousin Amber came and we went out last night. We went to Toby Keith's Bar first because Chris Ledeux's son was playing there. Amber had been trying to go see them in Bakersfield but I guess she could never go. Also this was a free concert so she had a blast there. Then we headed to Stoney's but the line was just a little long and it was definitely too cold to sit outside and wait so I introduced her to Raising Cane's chicken fingers. She is addicted now.
Today we went to Cowboy Christmas at the convention center. It is full of all different stands but everything to do with country. Boots, jeans, shirts, belts, purses, blankets, and more. It was a lot of fun. So much to look at.
So far it has been a blast. We have more to come though and I am already worn out. Hopefully I'll be lucky enough to get tickets to the rodeo sometime this weekend!

Day 5 of Christmas Memories
One Christmas morning, my sister Kalah and I woke up to a play house that my Dad A.K.A Santa built for us. It was the coolest thing for 2 little girls to have. We had it completely furnished with one of those foam couches that pulled out into a bed, curtains, a kitchen set, and of course cribs for our babies. I love my Dad for those little things he did for us when we were little because those are the things that I'll remember forever. (Tarin wasn't born yet when we got the house but that is the only picture I could find with a full view of it)

Day 3 Christmas Memories
Every year since we were little it was tradition that we take our pictures with Santa. We missed out last year but we already got it done this year. I recommend Town Square's Santa. He has his own little house and everything. This particular picture was taken at the Bass Pro Shop. We went there because they had 8 live reindeer pulling the sleigh and we thought it would be cool to see. Well apparently Santa thought "we" were cool to see. He was a really really young Santa and asked us to "sit on his lap" and not like he asked all the other little kids ahead of us in line. You might be a redneck Santa if you hit on the kids coming to tell you their wish list!!
