Las Vegas and New Years Eve

The whole family went to Vegas after Christmas:

We went to see the Cirque De soleil Beatles "LOVE" show. It was great.


This is at the New York, New York hotel...which is nothing at all like New York. For one, I am standing in the middle of a street and no one is yelling at me.


This is at the cosmopolitan, which is awesome. The hotel is just so cool.

We celebrated New Years Eve at our house. This is Lulu's outfit:

I know this is a pathetic stand-in for a Christmas card, but I was bored and my family was away for a few days. I hope you enjoy it!

NYC for Thanksgiving

We went back to the city for Thanksgiving. It was a great trip. We have been missing it (a lot) and it was nice to go back.
