Crafty Adventures
In My Travels

I went to Las Vegas with my parents, my brother Jeff and our friends Trish and Thayer from December 13-19th.
-
We visited the Hoover Dam, went ziplining down Fremont Street, had a couple really swanky dinners out including one at the Paris hotel on the Vegas strip overlooking the Bellagio fountains, did a bit of gambling on the slot machines, attended a Gatsby themed wedding and my brother and I ended the trip with a heck of a Patriots/Raiders game at the new Allegiant Stadium.

On a Happy Note

Going to see Six with my bestie, Kris.

My friend Liz came over on the Thursday before Christmas to help me wrap. It was a good thing we finished because that night the power went out.

Friday morning I went to the ocean to see the waves crashing in after the bombcylone blew through.

Christmas Eve at my cousin Susan's- visit with Santa, cutting Mom's hair and a funny exchange where Santa thought I was the mother of one of my cousin's kids.

Sleeping over Mom's on Christmas night, watching movies and playing Tock with Mom, Riley and Millie.
