Christmas in Kentucky

Sooo let's start from the begining... We got the car loaded up and were so excited to be heading off for vacation. We made it across the mountain to Tete's house and stayed the night there as we were going to have to wake up at THREE in the am the next day.
Flight Day- Everything went off without a hitch, we got up and got to the airport, got on the airplane and the kids were very excited to be on the airplane and flying. We landed in Las Vegas and let me just comment here about the stupidness-yes I am sure that is not a word, but I want it to be right now- of LV and their airport. What brainiac got the idea to put slot machines 5 steps off the plane. People are getting off and trying to figure out where their next flight is going to be and what is catching the little childrens eyes, the SLOT MACHINES. So while you are looking at your flight schedule your children climb up into a chair, then some rude airport attendant comes over and tells you, since you should obviously know, that you can get a HUGE fine for letting your kids play on the machines or even be a certain feet near them. But they are EVERYWHERE. Just when you get away from one you are backing into another. And your child has never been told they can't "fake" play with the "video games" before. What crazy universe is this. Don't put slot machines where everyone has to sit and wait for their airplanes, that is just insane!
Ok, enough with LV... So we head on to L-Ville
The kids did GREAT on the plane they each had their bags and were very entertained with activities and movies. Nana was there to greet us and the kids were quite excited! So was Nana. The first few days of our trip was great, well except for poor Henry. He seemed to have caught a cold from between the time we left home to Mom's and was lethargic, poopy, and coughy. We all however though we were in the clear because for about a week it was just him. We went on a Santa Cruise, got a Christmas tree. It was a great time by all. Lindsay arrived and still it was just poor Henry. Us gals went shopping. And by shopping I mean we acted crazy doing Chinese fire drills and getting Passion Ice teas with extra Passion and what not. Then everything went down hill. One by one everyone started dropping like flies. All except Mom, LJ, and Jakey have got it. And by "it" I mean the plague, the death, the cold that just keeps "giving" just when you think you feel better you don't. You are tired, headachey, stuffy, sore throat, coughy, the whole shabang!! Let's just say by the end of our trip we were ready to be home. haha. We left Mom and Dad's on a 7am flight had airplane troubles delaying us like and 1.5hrs in AZ, then drove straight home and got home at 8:30 WA time so 11:30 KY time. (We were up at like 4 KY time that morning) Long day basically. We are still getting over the cold.
All in all good times were had. Crazy times were had. Memories were made!
