Christmas Vacation (Day 7)

A slow paced Christmas today.  Craig worked until 6:30 this evening.  We made Christmas goodies and got massages.  We played with Charles the Dog most of the day.  Merry Christmas from Las Vegas!

Christmas Vacation (Day 6)

The Christmas Eve service at the Crossing Church was fantastic.

Christmas Vacation (Day 5)

Another beautiful day in Las Vegas as we hit Al's Donuts for the famous cronuts.  A trip to the Grand Canal Shops at the Vinitian and a trip to Bass Pro highlighted the day.  We doggie sat while Craig went to work at Hermes.

Christmas Vacation (Day 4)

We enjoyed the breakfast buffet at Red Rock in Sumerlin.  After my three plates, Craig took us next door to the new shopping area at a Downtown Sumerlin.  After shopping we headed home to get Charles and left for Exploration Park.  I was able to get a three mile run in on a record setting temperature day of 75 degrees.  Charles was exhausted.  The evening was spent at the South Outlets, In and Out Burger, Silverton, and grocery shopping for Christmas goodies.

Christmas Vacation (Day 3)

A beautiful morning in Las Vegas.  We started the day off at the Crossing Church then lunch at the  Tuscany.  After lunch we left for Primm, Nevada and outlet shopping.  To end the day an early evening walk at Craig's with Charles.

Christmas Vacation (Day 2)

We left early Saturday morning from OKC and headed to Burleson to see Brian, Allison, Amelia and Buttons the Dog.  We spent a fun afternoon with them, then headed to Love Field in Dallas for our evening flight to Las Vegas.  Craig was waiting for us at the airport.  We met Charles the Dog for the first time as well.

Christmas Vacation (Day 1)

We left Friday night and headed to Oklahoma City for the night.  We had to first stop in Tulsa for our annual Five Guys Christmas fix, then to Merritt's Bakery for Christmas cookies.

Enjoy
