Brian turned 30 on New Years Eve. We celebrated his birthday for four days and it was great. We were so fortunate to have our wonderful friends come from Sacramento and San Diego to help celebrate with us. On Brian's actual birthday we went to dinner with some friends and played The Office board game laughing the entire time. Until Kali woke up and decided to regurgitate her dinner on me. So right before ringing in 2009, I was washing out puke in my hair. That was fun. Poor Kali.
Our friends came in the next day and we had 7 house guests. Fortunately, our neighbor's let us use their empty house to sleep some of them. We hung out at the house on Friday night and reminisced the good ole days while watching Spaceballs and Three Amigos. Saturday we went to dinner, hung out in VIP at Cherry Nightclub at Red Rock Casino. We danced till our legs fell off and watched America's Best Dance Crew winners put on a show. The night ended at VIP in Voo Doo Lounge at the Rio. It has an amazing view of the strip from the balcony, but it was very cold so we took pics and went back inside where we did more dancing. Around 3am we decided to call it a night, or morning. Let me tell you, staying up till 4 am is a lot different now then it was in our 20's. It took us a few days to recover from our lack of sleep.
We are very blessed to have our circle of friends who will put their life on hold to come out for major events. Thanks to Mark, Mike, Dave, the Howards, Flewellyns, Virgil & Elise, and Erin & Mike for making the long journey out here to celebrate with us. Also, thanks to the Brownings, Mundts, Smiths, and Harber's for hanging out with us too. We love you all! Enjoy all the photos, there are a lot.

Christmas, came and went
We had a very busy Christmas this year. Not only did we go on the Polar Express, we had a Breakfast with Santa at church, spent Christmas Eve with Friends for a wonderful meal, had friends over for Christmas dinner, and then cleaned the mess. The girls had so much fun this year and it was so nice not traveling. Even though we do not have family in Las Vegas, we have made some wonderful friends to spend the holiday's with. The girls were showered with gifts and Brian and I made out pretty good too. We did take time out to explain to the girls that Christmas is not all about the gifts, but service and giving as well. We did our fair share to give and serve when we could to instill the true meaning of Christmas to our children. 
Fun in the snow
Since we got more snow a few days after the first dump, we took the kids to the park and went sledding. The park has a grass bowl that slopes down and we all had a blast. Our friends, Brax, Krew & Ryan met us there to try out our new sleds. All Kali wanted to do was eat snow and Kiki just wanted to go down the hill. You can tell we are warm weather people because the girls were ready to go after only an hour of play. We all had fun and like to 1 to 2 day snow a year.
