New Years in Vegas

The past few years we have spent New Years in Vegas. This year was the best I think. We started out the car trip playing 20 questions. Ben is extremely competitive in this game. Troy did pretty well in the car, thanks to Sterling and Brittany entertaining him the whole time with crackers and pop rocks. (They were eating the pop rocks, not Troy :) He started to get mad toward the end, but it was because it took us 7 HOURS to get there. The snow combined with the wind made it almost impossible to see. A speeding truck cut us off and fish tailed almost 90 degrees right in front of us. I and everyone else was panicking, except for Ben. He was still explaining why the item Sterling picked was not a thing while he was trying to stay clear of the truck. Haha.

So the car ride there wasn't the "best" I was talking about. We had so much fun with Dad and Beverly. We went shopping, played basketball, ate A LOT of good food, and even went to David Copperfield. Sweet Beverly got us tickets and we LOVED it. I honestly have no idea how he makes a car appear out of nowhere. He even made me disappear. Ben was an observer on stage and he doesn't know how it happened. I still don't understand how he pulled it off, but I did get a signed autograph! After the show it was time for the fireworks outside on the strip and they were way better than the last few years. I'm not a huge fan of the strip for obvious reasons, but it is fun to go through the hotels and shopping areas. They had the most beautiful Christmas decorations.

The best of all was how much fun we had together. What a wonderful family I married into. We all went to church on Sunday and I just enjoyed having all of us there. The whole trip was great and can't wait to do it again. Well, the driving I can wait on, but you get the idea.
