I'm dreamin' of a Bainny Christmas......

This year we were all so fortunate to spend the Christmas holidays all together in Las Vegas. Sam's brothers Randy & Mike brought their kids out from Florida and Kevin & his family came down from Salt Lake City. Sam's parents had been here since Jacobs baptism in early December. We got to do a lot of fun things (pictured below) and ATE a LOT of food.....
It was a great holiday for us all. The kids got along really well and had a ton of fun playing together. We had numerous "shows" performed by the kids as well as a dance party/talent show (thanks to tiffany)! The polar bear swim was a tradition in the bainbridge family for years in Florida, only problem is that its much colder here and our pool was 36 degrees.....eeekk! I thought that I had heated the jacuzzi for when everyone got out of the pool but when they jumped into it (even thought the remote said it was 98degrees)it was freezing too.......ooooppps!
Everyone is gone home today in time to ring in 2010. I hope this coming year is as good as 2009 was for everyone. We are truly blessed - especially to be able to spend 2 weeks together as a family.

This is all I got

from Thanksgiving Day.....I was too busy running around like a headless turkey...haha get it? "Headless turkey"....ok whatever......to take many pictures. Baili is turning out to be a magnificent helper to me. She always has been but as she gets older (and so creative) she loves to help me out, which I greatly appreciate. Thanksgiving was really nice. It was low key, we just had 14 people here. Dinner was fab! The weekend was relaxed and we got out Christmas tree and decorations up this weekend. Bring on Christmas.......
