Christmas

 we tried to do as many holiday things as we could find so we went to the

parade at Downtown Summerlin

 then the light parade in Boulder City 

 this is where Spock lives for the entire month of December

 the kids BEGGED me for Hot Chocolate one 

day do you think they drank them? Nope just loved the idea of the cups at 

Starbucks haha

 then we did Opportunity Village 

 then Rick went to Seattle with Greg for the

weekend and had amazing seats!!!

 Kellan's little celebration in his classroom for the holidays 

 Rick and I got the opportunity to go to

his friend from High School who was is the head chef

of a fancy French restaurant named Bardot. It was amazing!!

 then we went to Tivoli village to see Dasher and Dancer 

 and eat at the Cheesecake Factory after

 yay cousins are here! Last year we were so sad because nobody was

here no grandparents or anyone so we loved having family here! We went

to a movie on Christmas Eve

 xmas eve dinner at my mom's

 so I'm really sad because our camera chip will not work from 

Christmas morning so it is currently at Rick's FBI office

with one of his guys to get the pics off of it. So these are 

just from my phone of Xmas morning..I hopefully will post more later 

if we get the chip working.

 Santa brought a trampoline ! 

 I had this made for Rick for his sword from the Marines 

we couldn't stop laughing about this!! 

 back to our house with Grandma and Grandpa M

 this was from Rick's parents, honestly my favorite gift! I am always

cold and this is just heaven to be in! 

Unfortunately I put it on Instagram and Rick's friend

screenshot it and sent it to about 40 people from work so he's been dealing

with that still.... Dumb

Anway I think he looks cute and manly :) 

Washington DC

 Rick went to a conference in DC for a week and I got

to come and meet him for the weekend. We didn't sit down

because we wanted to see and do everything we could!

It was especially great because it was Veteran's weekend 

which made it even better to visit all the monuments 

especially the Marine ones :)

 Rick took me to a place where George Washington ate

it was super romantic and definitely cool to be somewhere 

that our President ate at. Of course it was freezing when I got 

there, so that was hard to adjust to especially the wind chill. 

Even Rick was cold!

 we did get to Georgetown to have a cupcake!

 Future Senator right here!

 the best part- riding bikes in the city! too much fun

 the White house was much tinier than I thought

 we stayed at the Mayflower hotel which many presidents have 

stayed at and tons of scandals.

 made you really think about what men and women have

been through, with Vietnam to the Korean and World War 2 

as well as the Holocaust Museum .

and the leaves were beautiful! It was a fun weekend :)
