Bye Bye 2008... Hello 2009
Happy New Year from the Crabtree's
I had to work down on the strip for ESPN. Money was great and I was back with the family by 10pm. What could be better? I was so happy I was able to get off the strip without a hitch. The event was pretty cool too. I posted the youtube video of Robbie's crazy jump. I prettied up Jayme Little and Robbie's fiance Amy. Both fun girls.
Just realized there is an "F" bomb in the video... sorry!
We brought in the New Year with non other than our friendship family Huxford's and Toblers. Games and snacks galore as we watched the clock tick!
We did it! We survived 2008! Looking forward to a positive 2009!
December Doings... Santa arrives.. OH YEA!
Christmas morning was so exciting! The kids were so lucky to get exactly what they asked for. Zachary asked for DS Guitar Hero Decades... Rock ON Santa! Rae wanted to ask Santa for a video camera, but Grandma and Grandpa Rockwood fulfilled that wish a few days early, so on Christmas Eve, Rae decided she would ask for a new dress... and WHEW Santa came through on short notice!!!!!
Grandma and Grandpa Rockwood were big Santa helpers to our family this year. We were so excited to get a fun family gift from them... a Wii! Woo Hoo.. needless to say we haven't left the house much since. We were even late to Christmas dinner, as we were busy playing Rock Band.
We truly are grateful for this season and feel so blessed to have such a wonderful Christmas filled with love, family, friends and fun. Merry Christmas everyone.
December Doings... Needles or bust!
A few days before Christmas, the kids and I made an excursion to my birthplace, Needles CA, to visit Grandpa Teddy and Grandma Kathy. We had a super fun day. Zach and Rae especially enjoyed crusin around town in Grandpa Teddy's cool effecient Gem Car. I opted for a full size truck with a heater.
We hit Burger Hut for lunch, aka Irene's back in my day. I made myself sick on a combo burrito and taquitos. Yumm, my mouth waters just thinking about it.. I especially enjoyed catching up with my sisters and getting a city update with my dad. It really is a shame we don't get down there more often. Here are some pictures from our trip.

Also a big thank you and love you to Grandma Kathy for all of her thoughtfulness and love, she really made Christmas special in the Crabtree household.

December Doings.. Let it snow?... not so much
So its old news now but it snowed in Vegas. And I was one of the many who were stuck on the unprepared roads. I had been up since 3 am. We wrapped early at the Encore, and I was looking forward to some rest and relaxation with the kids and I had no idea what the weather had been up to. Well.... boy howdy!
Well after going the the mall for a few hours because of backed up traffic and getting diverted off the freeway again and finally making a final attempt to get home, I was stuck for another 3 hours! I didn't get home until 1 am. I was soooo not a happy camper.. can you tell? Not knowing why we weren't moving was very frustrating, I mean people all over the country drive under these conditions, right? Being that Clark County only has 6 snow plows and desert rats have no clue as to how to drive in snow, wrecks were abundant. The Boulder City pass had a blanket of fog as well as snow causing zero visibility. I didn't believe it until I drove through it. Still wasn't happy, severe lack of sleep, exhaustion and cranky crabbies will do this too you when your stuck 3 miles away from home.
December Doings... Christmas Choir
Okay so I am really behind on the blogging. New computer and a Mac learning curve is my only excuse aside from being so busy, as you shall see...
First we have Zach's Christmas Choir performance. It was great, other than a few technical difficulties forcing the kids to sing acapella, (which sounded awesome too). Zach's Choir instructor Mrs. Barlow is a favorite among the kids. And as Zach says, "The best thing about choir is NO HOMEWORK!"
