Vegas Vacation!

Aunt Katie and Ash at Mandalay Bay
Deb and Dave headed out for their date night

Hanging with the boys while Deb and Katie shop!

We love Vegas during the winter...60 degrees and blue sky everyday...no winter jackets needed for a whole 6 days...what's not to love!! We drove to Vegas on the night of the 30th and stayed through Sunday the 4th. We spent New Year's Eve shopping at the outlet mall during the day and having a small party at Mike and Katie's that night. Pregnant party pooper Deb only made it to 10pm before collapsing into bed. The next day we ate brunch at the Original Pancake House then the boys took off for a little guy time. On Friday the boys kept Ashley so that Deb and Katie could go shopping at the new Town Square shopping center. It's right by the airport and is a huge outdoor mall. Deb spent some serious time (and money) at Sephora, one of her favorite stores...makeup is so darn much fun!! The big highlight of Friday was the date night for Dave and Deb. Dave gave Deb 4th row seats to see Criss Angel Believe at the Luxor for Christmas....not cheap but SOOO worth it! If you are a Cirque de Soliel fan or Criss Angel fan you won't be disappointed. I'd go back and see it all again if I could! After a quick dinner we saw the show then headed out to Red Rock Casino for a little gambling. They even have a non smoking section for pregnant gals like me who need fresh air!! So cool. Deb played on $20 for about 2 1/2 hours and Dave walked away with an extra hundred in his pocket from the tables...not too bad. On Saturday Katie and Deb took Ashley to Mandalay Bay Aquarium and then over to M&M World and the Coke store. After MUCH sugar we drove home and took a nice nap to end the day!

That's funny that you posted today, because I was thinking about you. I couldn't remember when you little one was due. Well it sounds like you guys had a good Christmas-we actually were thinking about you up there on the mountain with all that snow on Christmas-I'm surprised you got down. Although we got more than Chris' parents in Sandy did. Well Ashley looks as cute as can be and Santa brought an awesome shopping cart-very durable!!!! How's the dog-Did you ever get his nose checked?
