Home Alone

 We returned from Houston to finish up the Holidays.  Jake and Steph had her parents visiting.  We were left to entertain our selves

...so we did

 New Years Eve...Dinner at BJ's.  One of our favorite places.  Then we burrowed in to watch a couple of Netflix movies.  We got caught up in the last movie and  were 20 minutes late welcoming the New Year.  

 

 New Years Day we braved the crowds and went to the Bellagio Conservatory to see the holiday display.

Beautiful as always

I loved that these cottages had Frosted Mini-Wheat shingles.

And since we were so far south we went to Bass Pro Shop to see if they were still festive... nope.

But Bass Pro is always a fun place  to wander around.

New Years Night Jake & Steph invited us over for Ribs...so yummy.

And chance visit with her folks.  Thanks...sorry we were so tired.  Old folks can't handle too much fun in one day.

We extended our holiday fun January 2nd with a Ronda Vincent Concert.

It was a small concert at a golf resort clubhouse.

The kind of concert where they leave the house lights on so Ronda could see and visit with her audience.

.

She looked just like this.

Ronda Vincent

The Queen of Bluegrass.

.

Our friends from the band "Stuck in Reverse" opened for her...

so that made it extra fun.

 Hard to believe the Holidays are over!  They went by crazy fast.   

Now it's back to work and the daily grind

...but we're trying to live 2013  a little better.

Happy New Year!!!
