Christmas part 3

check out part 1 and part 2 of my crazy christmas adventure

a very vegas christmas and a trashy new year....

my brother got meg, my mom, dad and me Las Vegas Bowl football tickets for us. we love college football in this family a little too much. however, USC is my brother's favorite team and we could not miss that. we drove down to mesquite and saw this precious niece of mine. it is incredible how quickly newborns grow and change. she is adorable.

 meghan and i then drove onto vegas for the night. it was wonderful to get out of salt lake and just hang out and roam the strip.

 the next day my family drove into vegas for the game and we stopped at the bellagio before the game. these creations are made of flowers. how incredible is that?!

 it was actually really warm outside and the sun was never in our faces, so it was a perfect day for a game.

 this was randomly thrown to us at the game....we love our utes and still find a way to support them at a game they are not even playing.

 we drove back to mesquite that night and megan took my sister and i to one of the casinos. on my first penny slot machine i put in a dollar and won 20. it was pretty awesome.

we went to church the next day and then drove the long trek home to salt lake.
