The Girls

So it was August when we last saw Lizzy and Emily...then they came for Thanksgiving. Yay!

They each have grown a couple inches!! It was a fabulous weekend. And Aunt Tara took our family pictures at Town Square which is all about Christmas right now.

Runner up for Christmas card...if only George had his eyes open!!

Bret and his Girls. He was in heaven!!

2010 New Year's Resolution:

Be a better Blogger...

Bellagio....like Formaggio

So last night I took my girls down to the strip for a

Friday night of crazy Las Vegas fun.

Actually we just went to the Bellagio to see the atrium and the water show. I was trying to explain to them that Vegas is a very famous town. And most places don't have a 10 mile stretch of road filled with elaborate themed hotels. They never really got it. The Atrium was of course GORGEOUS!

Bella does not enjoy having her "picture made."

These two enjoy it a little too much :)

But the water show, which is my favorite thing, was

SPECTACULAR!

Even though there were a gazillion people.

***And BONUS!!***

There were a couple guys dressed like Batman and the Joker.

These were the best shots I could get.

They were more popular than the smut handlers!!

Complete with full make up and persona!

Scared the crap out of Bella.

I really wanted to get a picture with them,

but Bella burst into tears so no picture.

But all in all, a good night.

Lizzy says, "Awwwwww, Yeah!"

IT'S VEGAS BABY!

Utensils!

These are my step daughters with their cousin. Lizzy, Emily, and Emily. And Bella, who does not actually participate in the jump but looks on longlingly as little sisters often do.

And yes, I did say two Emilys. That is an interesting story for another time.

They are always looking for new ways to jump into the pool.

With this jump, each one announces their apparatus: "KNIFE! FORK! SPOON! UTENSILS!"

SPLASH!!

They are a crack up.
