Thanksgiving in Veags!

Preston and I were able to go to Vegas with  my aunt and uncle and cousins. My uncle has time share's and he was able to get two condo's in Vegas. We had my cousin Josh and his two buddies Josh and Sergio who live on the Marine's base in CA and Preston and I and My aunt and uncle and Nichole and McKenna.. we all met up and had a blast. Seriously, Preston and I didn't want to go home. We were able to have the full Thanksgiving feast with having two kitchens between the two condo's so it worked out perfect. We played on the strip, ate, swam, ate, shopped, ate, slept, ate, watched movies, ate, played games, black friday, ate, swam, ate... do you see a pattern here..? Anywho, here are pictures :)

The boys always had their nerf guns on them. They had a little too much fun with them!

First glance.. I think Josh is flipping off the camera, but he's not!

We went black friday shopping. This is the cart of my uncle and husband. Lego's, hot wheels and nerf guns. Dorks.

We played Tripoley off and on through the whole weekend. So much fun.

We went to one of our favorite buffet's. MGM Grand. Check out those desserts!!! That's just one of my plates ha.

The trip was a blast!! Thanks Craig and Annette and fam for letting us join you guys!


I transitioned the house from Thanksgiving/fall to Christmas/winter. I LOVE when the house is all decked out in Christmas. It's so cozy and romantic with all the twinkling lighting!

Garland and lights above dining room window.

Merry Christmas

Visitor's!

This last weekend, Preston's parents came to visit us. We had such a fun time! I can definitely say, I'm so lucky to have such awesome in-laws... many people aren't that lucky!

We took them up to Payson to the Tonto Natural Bridge. Some of these pictures may look familiar as Preston and I went there this summer. This time it was so peaceful. Not many people were there and when we were actually in the bridge, cave thing.. nobody was there. Just us!  Mind you... as we are hiking around it is VERY slick so don't mind our funny "positions" in some of these pictures as we're trying to brace ourselves!

Mom made these super cute Turkey's. They made it safe and sound from UT. 

 The next day, we all did different things that morning... Preston went to Youth Conference and helped in the service project for a couple of hours, I went to a friend's baptism, Preston's parent's went to check out some horses. We met back up and went to Rawhide. A western town. Such a fun place!!

I need to do more pull up's. My forearms were burning!!

Check out my mother in-law climb up that wall!

Sunday, we went to church, napped, I cooked up a storm and Preston's cousin Ashley and her hubby James and daughter Emily came over for dinner. We had such a fun time with everybody.

We also played games and went out to eat a couple of times. What a great weekend. 

Our 5 year anniversary is coming up next month. Preston's parent's gave us this beautiful ceramic replica of the S.L. Temple.

 What a fun time we had. Thanks mom and dad for coming to visit us!! We love you both :)
