A good Monday to you. I don't know where you may be reading this but I hope your weather is as good as ours is here in Las Vegas where we will be having a 64 degree day. Ms. Kate and I are still at the Palazzo Resort and will be until tomorrow when we move across the street to Treasure Island Hotel for one night, and then we head home on Wednesday.

Lauren, Heather, Karen, Ms. Kate

Yesterday we did some really fun stuff with Heather and hr family. We went to the Bellagio Resort and walked through the conservatory. They change the decorations in there with each season. One of they first times we saw it, Martha Stewart had done the decorations and of course "they were a good thing". LOL Yesterday was just as beautiful. 

After looking around the conservatory and taking a bunch of pictures, we headed out to Green Valley Ranch Resort to go ice skating. Heather, Lauren & Jon all skated while the rest of us sat and cheered them on. It was Jon's first time on ice skates but he did a pretty good job of catching on. Heather and Lauren had skated several years ago in Rockefeller Center in New York.

The  kids have gone on back to California today but it was a blessing to have the opportunity to spend this part of Christmas with them. I have said it before but having kids on both coasts of this country and us in the middle robs us of a lot of the joys that "regular" people (those that have their families living in the same community) enjoy. The fact that Jim and Julie moved within two hours of us a decade ago has been a super blessing. 

It is time for us to vacate our room so they can clean it. Maybe we can go get something to eat. Until my next blog I hope you have a day full of blessings and joy. Peace.
