Bringing in the New Year

This year we said hello to the new year Vegas style. It was completely unplanned and most fun I have had in a really long time. So new years eve day we were trying to make some plans and Kyle was to text some friends and tell them the plan, which was to come over to our house for some food and games. So when I got in the shower kyle was on the phone, and when I got out of the shower we were going to Vegas. That is actually how it happened. There was one other couple that wanted to hang out but there was not much for the four of us to do so an hour later we were headed to Vegas. I have only been when I was young and Kyle had never been so we were in for an adventure. We were so excited and we were not disappointed.

Here we are at New York, New York

Here we are waiting for midnight to come and trying to stay warm and not get separated. There were a ton of people and almost all of them were crazy.

It's Midnight, all the people in front of us.
This is the other view, behind us.
There was a 10 minute fireworks show that started at midnight and they all were set off from the tops of about 8 hotels that surrounded us. It was incredible.

The next night we went to a pirate show after we had been shopping and done some sight seeing. After the show we went to this amazing all-you-can eat place and then hit the hot tub.

And here we are in front of the sign. You can not go to Vegas and not take a picture here, so we stopped to take a picture and met some very interesting people. We are with our friends Ashley and Kelly, and the four of us had such a great time!

A BIG thanks to Mike and Jody who stayed with the kids and watched cartoons for 3 days while we were off having fun. It was so nice to not have to worry about the kids and have a little get-a-way.

Ho fun for you!!!! Any place is always more fun without kids! John and I went to Vegas when I turned 21 and I still remember it being one of the funnest trips I've ever been on. Yay for having fun on New Year's Eve! It's so hard to do that with kids.

Oh, and I meant 'HOW' fun for you, not 'HO'. Ugh.
