Christmas on the Road

It was very different celebrating Christmas in Las Vegas. We slept in this morning and then called Ryan, Deb, Austin, Alex, Krista and Jamie who are all celebrating today and tomorrow at Ryan & Deb's -- brave souls Ryan & Deb. I'm impressed. I understand that Austin (the almost 4 year old) who was last up???? I'm pretty sure that at 4 years old, his father was up around 5:00 opening his stocking. Maybe next year retribution will strike. When I asked Austin what he got for Christmas, his response was "presents". He sounded extremely excited. Alex, of course, was excited, however, she only said "hi", "love you" and "bye".

We spent the afternoon casino shopping. We started at the Paris hoping to get something to eat -- apparently the Paris has the best food in Vegas -- the lineups for all of the restaurants there certainly attest to that. We ended up at Harrah's where they were celebrating the day by giving out Mardi Gras type beads for every Blackjack and a deck of cards for every suited Blackjack -- we walked out with 17 sets of beads and 8 decks of cards!!!!!!!

After a break to feed, water and walk Emma and Abby nand grab some dinner we returned to the Strip and ended up back at Harrah's. This time Graham was the winner and I was the loser. We had a lot of fun though. A wonderful but different Christmas Day.
