The Tuesday before Thanksgiving we had our anatomy check at the doctors to find out what we were having. My parents were coming that evening, so we thought we would reveal the gender with a present and wrap the color of the gender in the package. It was so fun waiting for the anticipation to show them.

Just found out the big news! Waiting to see the doctor. November 26, 2013.
So excited!!!
After the doctors apt. we rushed to the dollar store to pick up some balloons. We hurried home to make dinner for when they arrived. When my parents and sister arrived we went straight to opening the package!!!
The video on this is a little poor, but you can see the blue balloons!
IT'S A BOY!!!!
We are so happy, and cannot wait to meet this little guy!
After dinner I went with them to the resort, and Rhett stayed home so he could work on Wednesday (I took the day off). It was so fun to finally have my family with us in Vegas!
On Wednesday my Mom, Melody, and I went on a little shopping trip to find a little baby outfit, and my Mom wanted to find me a cute maternity outfit. We had a lot of fun (except for maybe Melody, she doesn't like shopping very much) going to the Gap checking out all the good sales. We found a cute dark blue and white polkadot shirt for me with a cute blue scarf. My Mom bought it for me, and it was such a treat especially since I do not go shopping that often. We finished the shopping trip up with a stop at Smashburger, and had a nice time to just sit and chat.
When we came home Rhett was waiting for us with Dad, and Jeff, Sarah, and the kiddos were going to be there soon.

Thanksgiving was quite the adventure because we had to cook the huge meal in a kitchen that was fit for two. Literally only two people could fit in the kitchen! We magically worked it out, and had a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner with Dad, Mom, Jeff, Sarah, Delsie, Ross, Melody, Rhett, and ME!! Thanks to Mom's quick thinking and good cooking skills!
Before we had dinner we all went for a swim in the heated pools at the resort. It was so fun to go swimming at the end of November! It was a little chilly when we got out, but we just bundled up!
For dinner we had to put two end tables at the end of the table to make room for all the food, but we managed to have a great dinner. Mom is a great cook! Rossy was sleeping during the dinner, but he got to enjoy some food later.
After dinner we watched Real Steal with everyone, and cuddled with the kiddos.

The next day we enjoyed going to the strip, and seeing all the fun lights. Enjoyed an $11 dollar hot chocolate, and walked till our feet hurt.
Bellagio water show was our favorite :)
Needless to say we were very tired after that night. Saturday morning we checked out of the hotel. We went back to our apartment to drop our stuff off, then Mom, Dad, Sarah, and Jeff went to the temple while we watched the kids. Rhett and I had so much fun watching them! They are little angels. Melody and Delsie watched movies in our bedroom while Rhett and Ross watched football. It was super fun!
Later that night we headed to the Santa Fe Casino for a buffet. It was pretty good, and we all left feeling pretty stuffed!
Sunday we went to church with our ward. It was really fun to have my family there. I missed them so much!
My little Delsie girl. Love her to pieces!
Playing after church.
My mom has a lot of the pictures on her phone that we took so I will have to get them later.
After church we got home and had a leftover turkey casserole (which was yummy), and then smores made by Dad for dessert. Then we sent Jeff and Sarah on their way. Sending them off always makes me cry to see them drive away. We had a very fun time with them!
Luckily Mom, Dad, and Melody were staying another day, or I would have had a complete cry fest! So that night we put up our Christmas decorations, Rhett made cookies, listened to Christmas music, and then we played a couple of rounds of Mexican train. We had a fun evening!
On Monday, Rhett and I had to work, but later that day Mom, Dad and Melody came to visit Rhett's school to see his classroom. We went back to the resort that they were staying at on the strip and walked around a bit. Dad bought us some yummy Mexican food, and then we hit up the M&M factory. That place is a lot of fun, Melody was so cute with the Coca-cola bear.
I love this one. So cute!
We had such a fun time there, Melody even put on a show for us in the middle of the store ;)
This girl has moves!
Rhett was here, but he was taking the picture!
After the M&M factory we checked out New York New York, MGM, and walked the strip a bit. Lots of good exercise! We said our goodbyes at the resort, and would see them in 3 weeks!
I can't even tell you how awesome it was to have my family in town. I have missed them so much, and so badly wish we lived closer. I can't wait to see them over Christmas break in Caldwell! We will get to be there for almost 2 whole weeks. This is such a wonderful time of year, and I am so lucky to be able to spend it with family.
