Christmas 2010 in Vegas
I had a wonderful christmas eve. I woke up on the east coast at 6am and boarded my plane, slept most of the way here and landed on the west coast at 10AM. Ryan met me at the airport and then we drove home to the condo. Ryan's foot was still swollen so he called out and went to the quick care place. (while he went to the quick care place I wrapped all the gifts) The quick care place of course were of NO help. So once Ryan got home we quickly packed and then packed up the car and headed back to the Alleys. We all chatted for a while and then I remembered that I had to make my gingerbread village. Surprisingly dad and everyone helped. This is how it turned out. We thought it was all very creative.
Gingerbread Village of 2010
After building the gingerbread village we all had appetizers and o'doeurs that Avis made for us. We all chatted for a bit longer and then all headed up to bed. Ryan and I watched a little Arrested Development and then headed to bed.
Christmas morning which was about 10am, we all started opening our stocking and then our presents. We all over did it, so we were opening presents for almost two hours!! After opening all the presents, Ryan, dad and I played some of the games that we got for Christmas. We played a game called Dumbass (which is a weird little fun trivia game) and then we all learned how to play Canasta. All while Avis was cooking Christmas dinner (she doesn't allow us to help). Around 6pm we all sat down to eat our capon, sweet potatoes souffle, rice and gravy, green bean casserole, broccoli casserole, cranberry sauce and rolls. It was all so very good. Around 9pm Ryan and I left and came to the condo. We watched an episode of Arrested Development and then crashed. Ryan had work the next day.
We got up early and Ryan left for work. The Alleys and dad came and got me and we went for lunch at YardHouse and then gambled a little at Red Rock. On the way home we stopped by to see Ryan at Banana Republic. He was so busy that he was out of breath and running around. We decided to just head home. We all sat around playing games and snacking. Ryan called to say he was going to work a little late because the store was crazy. So we waited for him to get home. When he got home he was so out of breath and weak that he just went upstairs and laid down. Dad and I went to the condo to get some things, since I figured we would just stay at the Alleys for the night. On the way home Dad and I picked up some aspercreme for Ryan's foot, hoping it would help and I got some Nivea lotion so I could give him a back rub. When we got back I ate a little something and then headed upstairs. I rubbed Ryan's foot with the aspercreme and then rubbed his back for almost an hour, hoping to calm him down so he could sleep. Poor guy had just worked so hard and run around so much that he had exhausted himself. We finally got to sleep around one.
The next morning (12/27) Ryan said he was feeling better, so we got up and Avis fixed us breakfast and we all chatted. Dad had to leave, so he left around one and Ryan and I finally got to the condo by 2:30. We had a small lunch and then Ryan got ready to go to work. He left at 4:30 and I've been home alone since. Watched some TV, took a shower and now just waiting for him to get home. He's picking up Subway and then headed home. He's off for the next three days, so that'll be nice.
So that was my Christmas.
