so, living in vegas now, i'm totally excited to start our own holiday traditions, and this for sure is going to be one of them. opportunity village is a charitable organization that assists handicapped adults with employment & being more self-sufficient. at least as far as i understand. totally something i can feel good about supporting. apparently so does the entire las vegas community. companies in the area sponsor & decorate trees in the magical forest and it's so fun to walk around & see all the lights & cute displays.
my sweet boys.
and, bonus, because it's vegas, it's nice & warmish and they have all sorts of carnival rides. so you walk around, see the lights, the gingerbread house displays, ride the rides, play a little put-put and it's a totally fun night for everyone. we can't really plan things, because matt gets home at such random times, but I'm way glad he got home early one day & that we took the chance to go here, it was so much fun. a must for next year for sure!
Sawyer was terrified to go on this ride. we tried resoning & bribing & threatening because we KNEW she'd love it once she got on it. plus we'd paid extra for her to have the unlimited ride pass, so by dang, she was gonna use it! Matt finally got her on it by telling her how there would be butterflies in her tummy. Oddly enough, that did it for her, and the first thing she said to me when she got off, was "Mommy! I felt them! There were butterflies in my tummy & I felt them!!" Then I had to go with her & it was so much fun! We had a riot screaming like idiots & giggling together.
