Vegas Baby

     Best Birthday Surprise Ever! 

     My sister and I have birthdays two days apart, and I don't think we have celebrated them together since we were 9 and 11.  My mom surprised us and took us to Medieval Times, which was awesome!

Well this year we got another joint surprise when our husbands whisked us away to Las Vegas for the weekend.

     Aaron came home early on Friday, and while I was out for 20 minutes, he packed our bags and had my dad come over to watch the kids.  I walked in the door and he said we were leaving on a trip in 5 minutes!  Ahhh.  I had no idea he had a trip planned and was panicking about the kids but apparently he had EVERYTHING planned out.  So we go in the car, picked up my sister and Maurice, and headed to Vegas.  It wasn't until we got to the Mirage when they told us that our big surprise was that we were going to see "Love" the Beatles Cirque du Soleil show.  Ahhhh.

Our room at the Mirage

There was an awesome Christmas tree outside the Venetian that was made up of these lights in plastic bubbles.  We had to have a photo shoot in front of it.

The show wasn't until the next night but we kept finding ourselves hanging out at the "Love" lobby because it was so cool.

The next morning we got lost in the giant sized Forever 21 for hours.  We barely made it our alive, but we got lots of cute outfits.

Maurice ordered us a little birthday treat of chocolate covered fruit.  So sweet.

For the kids.

Show time! Ahhh.  We were so excited.

The show was amazing.  Amazing doesn't cover it.  It was so much better than I expected. It was fun, beautiful, and emotional.  Someone said it best when they said it was a "display of rock and roll poetry." There was so much to look at every second that I'm sure that I didn't even catch it all.  The minute it ended I immidiately wanted to see it again.  I HAVE to see it again.  If you have not seen it... see it.

Checking out the Bellagio water show the nex day.

Outside the Revolution club.  The night before there were dancers in these letters and I think we were pretending to be them.

Thank you to all the sweet husbands who were responsible for this sister-birthday weekend!
