Vegas Trip

We went to Las Vegas to visit Mimi and Papa right after school got out.  We stayed at the Wynn Hotel and love all the amenities there.  We were so happy to see Mimi and Papa and love spending time with them.  It was the perfect mix of fun, relaxation, and quality time together in Vegas.  We spent our days swimming, exploring, and enjoying some of the best food Vegas has to offer.  We had dinner at Casa Playa (Mexican restaurant) in the Encore Hotel.  The boys had fun taking picutres by the Michael Jackson backdrop, but we didn't see the show.  Craig and I saw Adele and it was the most amazing concert.  She is so talented!  We had such a great trip and can't wait to come back. 

 

Happy Birthday to Julie (Mimi)

Happy Birthday, Mimi!  We spent the day at the zoo and then went to dinner at one of our favorite places, Ella Elli, with just the girls...Mimi, Oma and Maria.  We had a delicious dinner - special salad with watermelon and feta as well as mushroom truffle gnocchi and scallops.  We also sang Happy Birthday and had profiteroles with french vanilla ice cream and expresso chocolate.  Afterwards we went to the movie A Star Is Born with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga.  I think this is my new favorite movie.  We loved this movie and bawled our eyes out.  It was such a fun night!  Happy Birthday, Mimi!  You are such a wonderful mother, grandmother and friend.  We love you so much!
