Family First!: Things we did this Holiday Season!

This month went by way too fast. My mom and grandma drove from Sacramento the Saturday before Christmas. My grandma hasn’t been here since the early 80’s. We went holiday shopping. That was fun because I haven’t shopped with my mom in years. We visited my Aunt’s that were in town and celebrated my Auntie Tessie birthday with her. It was nice because I haven’t seen her and the family in a few years. We went to a Purple Rain show at South Point Casino. I grew up listening to Prince so I knew a lot of the songs. It was actually a great show for only $5. Not only did they play songs from Prince but the base player played some oldies (songs everyone would know) and so did the keyboardist. The show lasted more than two hours (closer to three). I would recommend this show if you have visitors in town or if you are visiting even if you aren’t a Prince fan. It was good! My mom, grandma and I played bingo at the Cannery. That was pretty fun too! I haven’t played since Okinawa. My mom won once! We also played slots that same night. I played penny slots for fun. I am not a gambler. We took the kids to a movie to see Bedtime Stories. We also drove through sunset park to see the lights. But the best thing was just hanging around the house in out PJ’s watching movies, cooking and just relaxing.
