Vegas Christmas Vacation

Here's some pix from our recent Vegas Vacay. I'm just going to get the obvious out of the way. Ahem....here goes.
"That Blake, he's gettin' sa big!!"
To forego the incessant wise cracks that will imminently be forthcoming, I've conveniently complied a multiple choice list explaining my current size that each of you may vote from. No other comments are allowed!
A) I'm standing over an exhaust vent which is blowing air under my shirt, making it 'poof' out.
B) I've been eating buffet style for every meal for two days.
C) I've just left the buffet and I've fashioned a sausage link and bacon belt around my mid-section to sneak the food back to my hotel room. (On the way back to the hotel room, I was tackled by security who thought my sausage belt was a suicide belt made of sticks of dynamite.)
D) The camera adds 70 pounds
E) I've been eating my depression away after learning over the Thanksgiving weekend that the SMIL club may be abolished after Anna calls to inform me she's lost 5 pounds as I was sitting on the couch polishing off the last banana cream pie from the tin. (True story)
F) I'm packing it on right now so that next year my Before and After pictures will be even more dramatic.
G) All of the Above
OK, now you can vote. Now we can move on to better and brighter things. Isn't my family the cutest ever!? And here's me and my brother just before kick-off at the Las Vegas Bowl where BYU later crushed Oregon 38-8 to finish the season with an 11-2 record. GO MIGHTY COUGARS! Anyway, we had a great time on our first road trip since last Christmas and having a new baby. The kids proved to be bearable on the road...dare we travel farther the next time? Only time will tell.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I'd have to go with (C) since we went to so many buffets when I came down to visit, even though I ate more than you did each time. By the way are you 'swelling' with BYU pride?

Of course I'm going to have to say "E". During our conversation, I could barely make out what you were saying because your mouth was full of pie. But, don't worry Blake, we'll always be the original members of SMIL, even if I have lost 11 pounds. The pounds may have come off but the metabolism stays the same...slow.

Oh - and by the way, the picture is great! The kids are getting so big! We can't wait to see you guys.

He's such a good boy. We're so proud of him. And to think of what he was before (sob, sob).

I might have to agree with Jeff. The swelling is an allergic reaction. Maybe it's time to make some new life changes.
