This year, last minute, we decided to tag along with Nana and Nonno to Las Vegas for New Year's. When we arrived Nana and Nonno had ordered a huge spread of room service for us so naturally the kids were in heaven(especially after a long drive). We had so many fun and unexpected adventures this trip. We discovered a yearly event called the Magical Forest. It is a volunteer run and charity based Christmas event that became our most favorite Christmas event ever! Both local and national Las Vegas businesses/corporations decorate enormous trees that you meander through the "forest" to observe. The kids loved it! There were Minion trees for the boys and Elsa trees for the girls and every other tree you can possibly imagine. We also took an open air train ride through the "forest", ate fresh powdered donuts, rode a carousel, and visited with policemen and firefighters. The next few days we discovered another gem called "Container Park" which is made entirely of shipping containers. The park is in the center and is surrounded by restaurants and wine shops. The kids spent hours upon hours playing on the tube slides and building with giant legos while we sipped our coffee's and relaxed. New Year's Evening we threw a kids dance party in our room with party hats and masks. Mommy and Daddy managed to sneak out and used Nana and Nonno's hotel penthouse party tickets to watch the fireworks. The party was in Elvis's wing of the hotel and was so beautiful. He apparently lived in this wing for years while he had a residency in Vegas! We may have to repeat this trip again next year. So fun!!!
