Christmas....New Years...and everything in-between

This year has been far from my typical Christmas at home. Instead of staying home, my family spent Christmas in Medford with Linda's family, and then a family reunion in Logandale Nevada.....Here is how it all went down..

After a treacherous drive in the snow on Christmas Eve...

...my family arrived at Linda's house where she had a wonderful dinner waiting for us!

We got to spend a few days at Linda's....Including Christmas!

Eventually it was time to journey to Nevada for the family reunion.

The first stop of the trip was Virginia City...AKA the most haunted town in the west. 

kind of scary...

Dad and Daniel thought it would be a great idea to go to the graveyard at night....illegally if I might add

We spent the night in Reno.... not a whole lot happened there.

On the way to Logandale we drove through the extraterrestrial highway...

...this is the part where we were abducted by aliens

Eventually we made it to Logandale...The next day we decided to explore

We drove through The Valley of Fire

And took some pictures

lots...

...and lots....

... of pictures

Then it was time for Viva Las Vegas!

There tends to be a lot of people in Vegas on new years day....so after about an hour of traffic to get a parking spot we made it to the buffet at Circus Circus

We Drove down the strip and saw all sorts of fun things

The next day was the family reunion

I got to see a lot of family...so it was fun

Daniel got beat up by several small children... several times

Then we explored the valley some more...

....and climbed on some rocks

THE END
