Week With No Daddy

We went to the Ingram's house for some leftover Thanksgiving food.

He looks grumpy here, but that's because he woke up right before I took this photo.  He was snuggling peacefully before.

They like sharing a bed when on vacations

Finally got to see the Bellagio fountains.

The kids loved it.

 After the Bellagio fountains, we also went to visit the Ethem M's Cactus garden.  They loved wandering the paths and looking at the many many lights.
We split our days with out dad between the Thompsons and the Hansens.  One of the beautiful days Nub Nub wanted to take us to the park.  However, she had to wait for the A/C guy to come.  So I drove round and round with sleeping kids, until she was able to meet up with us.

Late nights, no naps, equal them passing out everytime we're in a car.

Looking at the many ducks

There were many playgrounds to play on

Papa came home on a work break to see us

 Again many late nights, and no naps means if there's not much going on...they pass out.  Otherwise, they're cranky kids by evening.

One kid over here...

another one over here...

....and the last one snuggled up with me.

 We did lots of Christmas type stuff with the Thompsons.  One of them was setting up their Christmas tree.

Ellie adding some icicles.

Dexter hanging some ornaments.

Flynn's playpen became theirs too. They would add all the pillows, then wiggle under them.

How she starts most days...dressed nicely and hair all done.

Playing with the train

 Aunt Audrey had her elementary school's honor choir concert.  We went.  I was very impressed with how my kids did, and Audrey's students did really well singing their many songs too.  There was even some fun dancing that her students did.

The Kunkel party - we got reserved seats.

Ellie liked sitting with me

We brought some flowers for the great music teacher

Aunt Audrey let us play with all the xylophones afterwards

Watching the Christmas light show, at one of those houses that are decked all out.

I'm guessing being wrestled by Uncle Tyler.

 We finally went back to the Hansens. 

Before we knew it, it was time to pick up daddy!!  Audrey had one last baby shower that Saturday.  We left Sunday morning.

Home again, home again, jiggity jig.
