Gold Spike ...

We spent the day at the container park, downtown. They have a really best concept going. Mary loved the playground when Justin enjoyed his shaved ice and me my hot tea. 

Later we played around at The Gold Spike. It's amazing how they transformed  it. We ice skated on plastic, played jenga, and cornhole. It was perfect since we had the place to ourselves, Mary could run around wild. 

Naked Butt ...

Who doesn't love a naked butt?! This one is one of my favorites. 

Children's Discovery Museum ...

We took Mary first time a few weeks ago. She had an absolute blast. I just wish we would if gotten there earlier, so we would of had more time. 

On the way out I found an awesome photo op spot! I foresee us going there again. 

Christmas ...

I can remember being excited for Christmas as a kid. That feeling of the best day of the year finally arriving. So excited for Santa. I got that same feeling this year for Mary. I couldn't wait for her to wake up and see the presents under the tree. Of course that's the one day she slept past her usual 10 am wake up. Justin and I enjoyed our coffee and watched the Disney holiday parade on TV while we waited. When she finally woke and came down stairs, her eyes lite up. She knew exactly what those wrapped presents were. (She's had a lot of practice from her birthday and grandpa giving her presents to open early.)

Christmas Eve ...

Christmas Morming ...

Christmas Day ... 

Santa made a special stop after dinner to visit with Mary, but she wasn't having it. There was no crying, just screams of pure terror. 

IOW Gala ...

Last night was MGM internationals gala. All the employee of the year honorees and nominees were there for all properties. It was amazing how they transformed the arena. We got to get all dressed up and even walked the red carpet. 

Wayne Brady was the host of the night. He did his improve and was hilarious! 

There was even a performance from cirque de solei Michael Jackson. 

Hubby was on stage! Can you find him? 

Dinner was super fancy. My favorite was defiantly the dessert. I mean come on, it glowed! 

To top off the night there was a surprise concert. TLC featuring lil Mama. To be honest their new stuff was no good, but I did love hearing all their old hits!

EOY Lunch ...

Last month was Justin's lunch for the announcement of employee of the year. He didn't win but did win best red carpet pose! He even got a gold lion trophy! 

For the cherry on top, there was a surprise for all runner ups ... A free vacation! Including time off and spending money! 

Tomorrow is the big gala. A fancy dinner and surprise concert! I can't wait to get all fancy for a really fun night to come. 

Red Coach House ...

Like every year we were going to see the synchronised lights at the house on Darby. I was super excited this year for Mary to see the lights. Christmas lights are one of her favorite things. Unfortunately there was no decorations or lights set up. I was really disappointed, but I did find another house. Not as good as Darby, but Mary loved it. 

Gift of Lights ...

The other night we took Mary to the speedway to see the gift of lights. She rode around and my lap for a front row you of the lights. At times she was even hanging out the window. She has been obsessed with Christmas lights ever since she was born. 

After the lights we had dinner and headed back to my parents house. My dad pulled out an early Christmas present for Mary to open. It was a Minnie Mouse house and crawl tunnel. She is obsessed with it and takes all her toys in there to play with. She even had a juice party with auntie Kimmy.
