Las Vegas!

Last week our family from Illinois came to Vegas for a visit/vacation! Chris' dad, stepmom, and the three siblings plus spouses. It was SO good to see them. We got to Vegas Wednesday night and went out to dinner for Chris' birthday (which was Sunday by the way). We hardly ever get to spend time with family, so it was really nice for us, and a real treat for Harper. I love it when she gets a chance to spend time with people in her family and get to know them. And it's nice for her to get a little spoiling, too! Her grandparents came with a loaded Easter basket, which Harper loved.

It was a short visit, but much needed. They left on Friday to make the long drive back home. Then Friday afternoon the McDougall's met up with us to spend the rest of the weekend together. On Saturday we took the girls to the Bellagio (my favorite hotel). Every hotel on the strip has a theme, and theirs is flowers. They have an amazing conservatory that they change all the time. It's never been the same each time I've gone. I figured they would love looking at the flowers and the butterfly house, which they did. (And notice in some of these pictures Harper's new smile. She now poses for the camera.)

Balloons made of glass. Harper LOVES balloons. This was possibly her favorite part!

Beautiful Harper

We had such a great time with friends and family! It was nice to get away and have a good time. And a special thanks to our great friend Nicolette who babysat twice for us so that Chris and I could enjoy the city!
