Vegas for the fourth December in a row...


Brady and I at Sam Boyd Stadium

Walking the strip (Poor Brady is always the photographer)

Pictures from Bellagio Christmas Display



Who am I to complain about the Vegas Bowl anymore when BYU can only go 500 over the past four years.  Brady and I decided to make the trek for the fourth time together, this time without any other Wolthuis' (weird).  Luckily our great friends  (Brady and Steph Hess) decided to endure the long drive in our small subaru and then leave the game early even though the game was the reason for the trip.  Our time wasn't wasted and it was a blast with Brady and Steph.  We went down Friday and walked the strip that night to see the Christmas decorations at the Bellagio.(This has now become a yearly tradition)  Then we went to Cheesecake Factory (YUM YUM)  We woke up Saturday morning and went to the James Bond movie which was good and then tried to reintroduce the Hess' to a better In-n-Out experience than their first.  I love that place and it is always busy no matter what location or time.  We then sat sadly through the BYU/ U of A game and rushed back to the hotel to take our anger out through bowling.  We then took our time Sunday coming home and felt overall the trip was a lot of fun.  I then decided to take a break from sports for some time, but of course that didn't last long as I have frustratingly watched the Jazz lose (Isn't Millsap a monster) and am watching a great TCU BSU game (Go TCU, represent the MWC).  Well anyways that was our fun filled weekend and my short lived vow to leave sports behind.  (Honestly that will never be possible and my emotions will always be run by sports.)  Anyways...update on baby.  Due date is 3 weeks from tomorrow and she weighed 5 lbs. 15 oz. yesterday.  Will post pictures when she is here!
