    It's weird, I didn't think I could love him more than I did, but somehow when we got married I did. I hope it's as wonderful for you as it has been for us.

    Unpacked a box last week and found a few Christmas picture books packed inside. Dates back five years when I found several kids books at charity shops, throughout the year. By December 1st I had over 25, plenty to fill a basket for a neighbour family as a reading advent calendar. It was as much fun for me to find, wrap and give as I hoped it was for them to have a Christmassy book to unwrap and read together, every night before Christmas.

    I was hoping to do a half Christmas dinner (June 25th) after that lovely post about having a recent Christmas dinner for their ill father recently but I have been told I can't due to moving house and traveling that week. I hate being grown up.

    Oooh you'll have a great time ! So many tips where to start lol !
    If your looking at going to see the grand canyon do it by helicopter. Its more costly but it's only a half day in total in a small group of 5/6 ppl and you will land on Indian ground inside the canyon and have a little picnic. By bus it's a day excursion so the whole day is gone on a bus. We were gone at 8.30 am ( via stretch limo ) and back by lunch time so had the day to ourselves.

    Try go see a cirque show. If your a fan of michael Jackson see the one show. It was hands down my favourite part of the trip! Although any cirque show is good ! And you can dress up or go casual we had people dress up in black tie and others in shorts and tee after walking off the street !

    If your staying in a hotel on the strip do ckeck out the buffet breakfast. In most hotels its Brunch breakfast combo. We stayed in the flamingo and it was amazing ! Like 24 dollars per person it was open from 6 am til 2 pm and you could have everything from a make your own Omlette station to cereal to fruit to Chinese food and Sunday dinner with your free drinks. Because it was sooooo warm we found our appetite was gone so breakfast was our main meal !

    Def use uber or there is a public bus that stops at all the hotels every 10 mins all way thru the night. Great way to get to some of the hotels and freemont street ( the old strip ).

    Check out all the hotels. My favourites were the venetian the shopping was unreal and we had a gondola (sp) ride around the hotel. Also Paris was amazing just walk inside you will see what I mean !

    Check out the fountains at rhe bellagio huge crowds but they are on every hour until like 5 pm I think then it's every 15 mins or half an hour. It's amazing !

    If your there to have some fun stop and get one of the test tube funnels you can walk around and drink them ppl bring them into shows and everything ! I personally recommend the strawberry dacuri :) and u keep the tube and they refill it. There are stations every where and it's only like 13 dollars to refill !

    I think that's it although if you have any more questions let me know I'm sure I forgot something ! Have a fab time !!!!

    Me too! But it's because you inspired me. :)

    Lads I am so delighted. We moved back to Ireland in March and have been so excited to be home.

    But now we've had a change in circumstance and we are moving again - and I am even happier. The house we are moving into is a tiny terrace and Christmas in it is going to be the cosiest loveliest thing ever. Open fire, twinkling lights...I can't wait! Amidst all the packing and buying appliances and stripping wallpaper, I am just thrilled at the prospect of Christmas in this little place. :pac:

    Congrats ME!! Are you moving country? My OH is already pushing for a four year plan, I have been away allot of my adult life so I am sued to it. Not sure I could live in Ireland anymore to be honest. Plus not work for me really. We will see what the future brings.

    I will listen to let it snow on the way home just for giggles.

    Not moving country, no. Staying in Ireland, but moving from Kildare to Dublin, much closer to work. :)
