Road Trip/ Christmas with the Jacksons

My 8 day break off work started out quickly and hasnt settled down yet.  First we started by going to Brett's concert at school.  They had a big party and then a singing program (brett is the 2nd from the end on the middle row).   At the end the big man mad an appearance. 

From there we headed to Fillmore.  Caleb and Brett stayed with Nana and Grandpa (THANK YOU) while justin and I headed to vegas.  We spent a night in mesquite and then a night in vegas.  Had a great all you can eat buffet in Mesquite.  We spent a few hours at Bass pro shops and got rain gear.  After that we headed to the Vegas Bowl.  The Utah Utes lost but the road trip was still well worth it.  The next morning we headed back to fillmore for our 2nd Christmas of the year with the Jacksons.    Brett was so excited to get a Paper Jam guitar.  It really is made out of cardboard (hint the name paper jam) but its a great toy.  Brett loved it  especially when we hooked up the amplifier. 

Caleb got a scoot and push toy.  Brett loves it as much as Caleb and had hours of fun scooting Caleb around. 

Finally on christmas eve we made it home. Brett and I made cookies for Santa Claus. Brett decorated the plate that was especially for Santa. Brett has also been tracking Santa on Norad. He is very excited for tomorrow. We had a wonderful Chili dinner (okay so I had beanless chili, Jusitn had regular chili, brett had steak and corn, caleb had steak and cheese).... but we all enjoyed it.

I cant believe its only be 4/8 days off for me..... It feels like its been a lot more than that.  I am so excited for my 4 more.  Just hanging out at home with the kids and hubby (minus my time for my massage on Monday)
