Las Vegas 2020

The day after Christmas we left Utah and drove to Las Vegas. Mom and Ken had just moved in the week before. We were anxious to get there to help out because they had a HORRIBLE experience with the movers. They didn't unpack everything, ruined some furniture and even left some heavy items in the garage! Fortunately, Dave and Kristi were able to rush down after hearing the news and helped them for a few days. ALSO- On Christmas Eve mom was at the grocery store and someone stole her phone/wallet. So when we arrived, not only were we trying to assist with the house but also helping mom take care of banking business, DMV, and getting her a new phone. We were non-stop busy and wanted to make sure that by the time we left on New Years Eve that they were much more settled.

Remember how I mentioned that the movers did a terrible job? Well, we were slightly moving moms sideboard table when it came crashing down and ruining about 20% of her crystal. Come to find out that the movers never put the center supporting legs on to the furniture.

We were all just so upset and especially after such a bad week. The Aaron determined that he would fix the furniture piece and he did! This made Mom and Ken so happy because they really loved this piece. Even though we could replace some of the crystal, we were able to buy a new glass shelf and
installed it right before we left town.

All fixed!

Super Aaron cleaned out the garage and made everything look so neat and tidy!

Super Aaron hung lots of pictures.

But the coolest thing that Aaron did was build mom this laundry storage and sink! About 100 trips to Home Depot and the end result looked awesome!

I helped decorate:)

 Before leaving Utah, we dropped Jaxon and Melynn off at the SLC airport so they could fly to Sacramento. Dad and Laurie picked them up and brought them to their house. Dad was giving Melynn his Toyota Highlander! After a little visit, Melynn and Jaxon drove to Vegas to meet us there. 9 hours later and they arrived safe and sound. Melynn was planning to then drive it to Provo when we left for Florida. Melynn's friend Eme suggested that she fly to Vegas instead of Provo (after spending time with her family in Washington state) so she could drive up with Melynn. What a wonderful friend!!! So the day Eme arrived in Vegas, they went on a hike in the Red Rock Canyon. That afternoon the girls left for St. George to hang with John and Geri and then the next day went on another hike and then headed home.
