Christmas Eve - 2011

Merry Christmas Eve from Wenck World.

 Here we are getting ready for a Christmas eve church service.   Our special visitors Memaw and Dodaddy came with us. 

 After we got home it was time for magic reindeer food that was provided by Christian's teacher.  

 He shared a few handfuls with Archer. 

 I think they liked it. 

 This is when I started asking Christian to put his arm around Archer.

 This might be my new favorite because I love the way Archer is looking up to Christian...so cute. 

 Then it was time for our PJ picture. Momma got to open up her present early.  Minnie Mouse leopard print PJ's from the boys and leopard print slippers from Memaw and Dodaddy...a perfect match. 

 Time for a silly picture!!

 Daddy and his armagnac. 

 Christian and Archer left Santa some cookies by the nativity scene...pretty cute. 

Looks like the elves left a little surprise for the boys when they wake up. 

Merry Christmas!!!!

Success!!!

We have achieved Lego success. Christian received this as a Christmas present and after a little guidance from Dad, he completed the majority of it by himself.

Kindergarten Christmas

All the kindergartners at Christian's school put on a Christmas program.  Their class had a special song called "Treasure box".  All the kids did a great job. 

 Here is Christian goofing off with his friend Nathan (above him)

 Assistant Principal Mr. Tinnon did some of the introductions.

 Here is most of the group.

VEGAS BABY!!!

We went to Vegas to celebrate a friends 40th birthday.  We had such a great time.  Chris described it as one long date night....lots of great dinners, lots of fun times with friends. 

We stayed at the Palazzo.  It was an amazing hotel. Huge rooms!  They have a gondola ride in the Venetian hotel.  They also had "Winter in Venice" while we were there.  The top video is winter in venice.  The bottom is from our gondola ride. 

 No trip to Vegas is complete without seeing what they have in the Bellagio conservatory.  Isn't the polar bear cute.  He is made out of flowers.

 Here we are!

 Her is Jeff and Kathryn.  Jeff is the birthday boy.

 Jeff's dad grabbed us a limo so we could make our dinner reservations...how cool that Chris and I got to tag along.  This is Jeff's sister Jennifer getting out of the limo...ok this was staged, but it was fun

 Kathryn, Jeff, Mark and Sydney

 Jennifer and a very cool drink.  Can you see the BIG ball of ice.

 Yes, that is octopus Chris is eating (eeewwwwwww)

 The sangria was soooooo good.

 Jennifer wrote this great poem for Jeff's birthday dinner.  So funny!

 The sangria watermelon was the best part of the drink

 Jeff and his parents!

 Make a wish!!!

 The ladies and the cool BIG RED Shoe

 VEGAS!!!

 Here are the guys at the club..

 Party time!!

 More winter in Venice.

A Vegas Christmas is all about the lights.
