Cam met us for Christmas Eve which was fun to have some Cam time and Christmas morning as we waited for Sarah to arrive wherein the festivities really began!! Staying in an incredible hotel was great fun; and upon Sarah's arrival (she spent her Christmas Eve and day with her incredible family) we dined at a delicious buffet and then had a special family night focusing on angels and blessings. I continued a delightful new tradition which we started this year with Ashley's family, shared gifts and had fun watching Cam find gifts Sarah had hidden around the room which represented moments of their dating/history. It was adorable! THEY are adorable!!
The next day we all went to the Las Vegas LDS temple to do a session together which was extremely special for all of us. We love Sarah and feel she has already become a member of our family! We dined various places and also enjoyed decadent deserts at the Bellagio Hotel. We also separated for a while as we wanted the kids to have some fun alone time, especially since they had become engaged only a couple of days prior.
During our time together we also watched part of a Pens hockey game on TV; what can I say, we are all die hard fans of course! We then enjoyed riding the High Roller, the world's tallest observation wheel at the LINQ's outdoor shopping/dining promenade. It has pods which hold up to 40 people per pod rotating allowing for the viewing of Vegas from high in the sky!! Also, enjoyed a delicious Mexican dinner and fun entertainment at the Promenade. Our entire time together we were laughing and sharing personal stories, running here and there and enjoying every moment being together. Cam even surprised us with airline tickets to fly up to visit them for a weekend in the next couple of months - we can't wait!
Sarah is everything we have ever dreamed of for Cameron! She is so emotionally healthy and well rounded. Cheerful, positive, motivated, loving, spiritual, kind and a riot to be with. We are so very excited for their upcoming wedding in the Oakland temple and having Sarah and her family become part of our eternal family circle! She and Cam are madly in love and so compatible. Sarah recently graduated from college in elementary ed and is now further completing her studies as a middle school math teacher; she served a mission for the church in Brazil as well. We are very eager to meet her parents as they have reared a remarkable daughter!
PS Her ring is absolutely beautiful! Cam - you did good (wink). We loved
their engagement story also. He was so excited and pulled it off without her even sensing what was about to happen. Her parents adore him and gave their full approval :)
