NFRs


Every year for 10 days in December Vegas turns country, as cowboys and girls gather for The National Finals Rodeo! It is the best of the best, no messing around true rodeo. We went down for the weekend and went to the final Saturday night rodeo, a ton of fun! Spend a lot of time at Cowboy Christmas, which is where vendors from all over gather in the convention center to make up a country shopping extravaganza!

The christmas decor in the various hotels is amazing this time of year. With a few days until Christmas I'll leave you with some pics of decor from the Bellagio, enjoy!

Holiday Giving



This past weekend I got together with some girlfriends for our annual day of wrapping presents for The Forgotten Children's Fund! It is a great seasonal organization that raises money to purchase, wrap, and deliver gifts to needy Children.

Each child receives a new winter coat, a bicycle (if desired), helmet and at least three toys! Food staples and warm blanket are also included for the family. The gifts are delivered on Christmas eve and day from Santa and his team of elves. They are currently serving more than 2,900 children in 800 families.

Make sure to check them out if you're looking for somewhere to volunteer for the holidays, its fun and for a good cause!

Over the last couple of years for Christmas, John and I have gone shopping for toys and donated them to Toys For Tots, this year we asked people to bring a toy to donate to our Apple Cup party. We dropped the bundle of toys off over the weekend, Thank you to everyone who brought something! Wish we could all see the look on the kids faces who receive them.
