Hoover Dam December 30, 2016

The day after the wedding Kerri took us to Hoover Dam which is about 45 minutes from Las Vegas.

The first thing we did was walk the bridge to look down at the Dam.

Amazing!

Christmas Eve 2016

We hosted Christmas Eve this year. Terri and the boys came over for a couple of hours before they headed over to Dave's family for Christmas Eve.

The McNutt's and Baerwaldt's came for Christmas Eve. We first played Wits and Wagers for families and had a lot fun with that. Then we had soup and braided bread for dinner.

After dinner we gathered to sing Christmas songs and get in the spirit of Christmas. After we each chose a favorite song to sing we watched the Nativity on video. Then we had a yummy dessert made by Cindy.
