Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

We took a little family trip to Las Vegas this week. It was wonderful! As to not bore you with ALL the details here is an overview of our favorites from the trip:

Brad:buffets, free tram rides, free slot money, architecture at Caesar's Palace, keeping the girls out until midnight on his birthday!


Karen:70 degrees! pool, Tournament of Kings Show, the lights, the volcano at the Mirage.


Camille:
Chasing pigeons on Fremont Street, riding multiple escalators, her "bed" at the hotel (the couch), seeing and eating at the castle (Excalibur).

Natalie:Smiling at, saying hi to, and entertaining strangers, free Mardi gras beads, eating off Mom and Dad's plates.

There's more pictures, which I may or may not post later!

Birthday x 2

We had a combined birthday dinner for my sister, Kaitlyn, and Brad.
(Camille also declared that it was her birthday but was content with the idea of being honored as the half-birthday girl.)

I was in charge of the cake. It's far from perfect but was a lot of fun. Since Kaitlyn and Brad are both products of the '80's I thought it was appropriate.

Alexander, we're sorry you missed the party. Hope your birthday was fun too!

I love these girls!

Just roll with it

First ever, Saturday night hair in rollers party. (That's Mil doing her fake smile)

WOW, that's a little more curl then I bargained for.
It's five minutes until we need to be to church so we just have to "roll" with it.
(Millie's also been trying to learn to wink!)

In the end it turned out pretty cute:
I swear I'm never going to get a decent picture of her again...she's loves making faces and fake smiling!
