Holidays Part Two
I landed in Vegas late Sat afternoon, we headed to dinner then home it was a long 7 days since our last visit. Once home we caught up on Christmas stuff to prepare for my mom/peters arrival Sunday afternoon
Sunday morning about 430am M climbed back? Into bed über cold - was like wow why are your feet SO cold! He said bathroom but when I woke to full the tree. Understood why:-)
We had opened my presents of pjs Christmas Eve and we wore them as we cleaned and stared cooking our Christmas dinner - chicken enchiladas, homemade salsa, black beans, rice with my traditional Kahlua cake as dessert.
That afternoon my Mom & Peter arrived. It was their first time ever to Vegas so they were actually pleasantly surprised by the surroundings as they thought it was all like Reno lol. Michael's place in Summerlin is definitely nicer than most so even better. Michael got back from a run with Ghangis about 30 minutes after their arrival and it was a good intro.
Dinner that evening was perfect. M's brother & nephew came over for dinner and we all ate too much :-) it was so nice to hear the compliments about the meal from his foodie brother as well as my mom/Peter and M. His brother B was very complimentary to m in general saying it was the best holiday they had in years :-) The highlight of the evening was Michael telling me how wonderful I was and that it was the best Christmas he can remember and that we needed to make reservation downtown since we had witnesses from both ides of the family and it gets busy over New Years. We then joked that leap year would be better as an anniversary as he'd only have to remember once every 4 years :-)
The next day I took my mom & Peter to Red Rock for a hike.
I wasn't über happy here as I just got a cll from doggy daycare that Miss A snipped at someone who was fed too close to her. Who feeds lab pups together really? After the hike my mom & I headed to the Strip to sightsee its fun to go "tourist" on the Strip.
Anyway that night after showers and naps we headed to SW Steakhouse for dinner. Nummy. Too bad we missed Prince Harry who was there last week dining with Steve Wynn. I will see Prince H one of these weeks!
The next morning we woke up and my mom & Peter headed to the Dam and I stayed home for some M alone time & the mani/ pedi he insisted on. :-)
Once they returned mom & I headed back to the Strip to see the Monet exhibit at the Bellagio then had lunch at Olives
while Peter hiked Red Rock. Mom and I also walked a bit on the Strip for her to get Peter a I <3 Vegas tee. Mom doesn't understand Vegas and tried to joke with the cashier, he looked at her like really lady I deal with drunks all day you are not funny.
That night after workouts and naps we met up with my cousin Sarah and her hubby Wayne at Mesa Grill ( which I highly recommend)
The girls
Mom & peter
A bad pic of me but how CUTE is M!!
The visit with my mom went well though. My mom can be a tough cookie, he is pretty judgmental and hard to deal with - her a Peter can be well obnoxious and loud. They say inappropriate things and are very well they need entertaining. If dinner is late, or they have to wait or they feel as if they are being well not the center of attention they can come across as rude. But M liked them thought they were funny and Mom/Peter really like M and how he treats me "I can tell how much he loves you by the way he looks at you and his attention to you and how well you to interact" mom & p :-)
The next morning we woke up, said our goodbyes to the 'rents, got the dog to the sitter and headed Laguna!!!!
On to the next update......
