Happy Birthday Nana!

Dave and I helped Darci celebrate her 30th in Vegas, but the girls really wanted to be with their Nana on her birthday as well so we went to her house for a birthday dinner last weekend! My mom and I made a yummy dinner and enjoyed a very low key evening filled with lots of laughter! Happy Birthday Nana! We love you!
The girls waiting for dessert...don't worry, the beer isn't theirs :)

Everyone blowing out the candles! 30 is a lot you know....

Halloween!

We had a very fun Halloween! It almost reminded me a little of the anticipation of Christmas coming. The girls were up early on Halloween morning and they asked Dave and I every 20 minutes how much longer it was until they could go trick or treating. They had a long wait but I think that in the end it was definately worth it!

Hannah Montana and Cinderella!

I love this picture! They crack me up!

Vegas!

Dave and I went on a quick 3 day weekend trip to Vegas to celebrate Darci and Katie's 30th birthdays with them this past month. We had a blast! It was especially fun for me because I was with my sister and my cousins- something that rarely happens it seems like these days. Oh, did I mention that we had no kids as well? Some of our group hadn't been to Vegas before so it was fun to do the "touristy" stuff again as well- the pirate show, the water show, etc. On Friday night we got to go to the top of Mandalay Bay to this really fun bar thanks to Mike and his cousin. It happened to be where Justin Timberlake was going to be hanging out at that evening because he was going to be performing the next day for a benefit concert....we ended up leaving before he got to the bar but we did see his locker full of alcohol :) On Saturday we went to a show. Let's just say it was interesting. It was one of the Cirque De Soliel (sp?) shows and I have officially decided that I really enjoy shows that have a plot, characters and an ending! The weekend was over too quickly but it was so fun to be in the sun (85 degrees), lounging by the pool and hanging with the family!

These pictures were taken with our cell phone- not good at all but the view was AMAZING from the top of Mandalay Bay!
