We spent this Thanksgiving in Las Vegas with the Christensen Clan. We had so much fun with all the kids and grown-ups. Here are some pictures we took. We made it to the top of the Stratosphere. Which I would NEVER go up to before we had Ally because Cody always wanted to go on the rides at the top and there is NO WAY IN HELL I would go. But this time I said "oh yeah, lets go" and Cody was surprised to say the least. Now that we have Ally I can easily bow out without being too pressured. I was able to go shopping with Kellie, Brittany, Caleen, Maddie and Talbie and we had so much fun. It was nice to be able to spend more quality time with the family and get to know them better, we would all end up in Bret and Caleen's room and talk all night. It was so much fun. Cody went out with Bret to the casinos at night into the wee hours of the morning after Ally and I were tucked in bed. But I did get a chance to go out with Caleen. We didn't go too far, just to the downstairs "make-shift" bar and had a couple of drinks and just talked. I had so much fun. Poor Caleen, I think I talked her ear off. But I had so much fun. We went back up stairs and everyone came over again and we talked some more and then Cody and Bret went out for a little while and when they came back Caleen and I were burning the midnight oil. So needless to say both Cody and Bret made us go to bed. Thank you Blayne and Pat also. We had a great time. Little Ally was leary of everyone at first and the warmed up to the boys and Bret but not to Kellie and Brittany and Caleen. She did warm up a little to Caleen but not for too long. I felt so bad she is such a pill sometimes. I REALLY want her to come out of this phase fast. As you can see in the picture above she warmed up to Bret. I love that picture they are so cute. I think she was amused by all the kids. Aiden and Chase and Ember and Talbie couldn't get enough of her. They stuck by her side constantly. It was so darling to watch Aiden and Chase with her. I was sad when we had to leave everyone. We had to get back to our little Kramer and Newman who stayed at the Dogs Spa and had a blast as they always do. I must say it is so nice to be home though, with our boys and Ally and Cody.
