Vegas Vacation (sort of)

If I ever tell you that we're going to book a flight at night again, stop me! Ceci flies much better in the early morning!

We left for Vegas Friday night (delayed flight, of course). Ceci entertained herself with the beads you see below:
Saturday morning we headed to Palo Verde High School, where Chris and Brad Townsend were judging the "Summerlin Spectacular." We ran into many old friends there, such as:

Lorne and Eydie Reid, and Lori Haines

Sheri Manning (with Chris and Cecilia)

We (mostly Chris, I mean) also saw David Morris, Brian Howerton, Mike McGrath, and Sonny Hernandez.

Ceci and I left and headed to the Melissa Carpi/Larry Ransom wedding. Talk about a college reunion! Here's the happy couple at the reception:

Ceci did a great job the whole day. We did need some alone time, so after a diaper change, she met the baby in the mirror:

Tad tried to hold her throughout the day, but it wasn't until he offered her a spoon to play with that she warmed up to him: Ceci got to meet many of my college friends and their wives:
and even got a photo with the groom:
But she loved seeing Dan and Tracy Philippus again:
After the wedding, Ceci and I headed to Aunt Lissa and Uncle Roll's house, where she stayed while Chris and I went to sing karaoke in honor of Dani McCracken's birthday. Unfortunately, the wind had other plans - it knocked the power out at our favorite karaoke place. Plan B - head to Adam and Cindy Clough's house for karaoke games there. Lots of fun and Mad-Lib inappropriateness (if you've ever hung with this group, you know what I mean!)

Sunday was all about family. Ceci woke up, more bright-eyed than her mother:
We met Quinn for the first time. She is my brother's little girl:
Grandpa Steve met her for the first time as well:

Quinn Marie

Juli (Quinn's mom and Scott's girlfriend) bought the girls matching outfits. We also celebrated Juli's birthday today!

Proud Grandma and her girls

They didn't want to stay still for the pictures

I love her smiles!

Too soon, it was time to leave for the airport. We got home around 1:00 am (another flight delay.)

Here are 2 videos of the trip. The first is Ceci on the plane into Vegas. Sorry, I thought the orientation would switch with me. The second is Quinn and Cecilia having their own conversation. It's adorable.

Next time we post - Cecilia's first football game (Go Beavers!) and pumpkin carving. Until then, be good!

P.S. I joined Facebook (thanks Ruby and Stacy!) and I posted more pics from Vegas there. Check out the link over there ---------------->
