Swimming in Las Vegas!!

I had a swim meet in Las Vegas that I needed to go to so Gavin and Andrew came with me!!

I had to be at the meet for about 6 hours per day so we didn't have a lot of time to spend together. But with the time we had we mostly went outlet shopping. We also ate a few meals at Cafe Rio! We were also able to spend some time with Hillary, Josh and JJ. It was a lot of fun.

Andrew and Gavin had a lot of fun at the hotel.
The hotel had a nice big pool so Andrew got Gavin all ready to go swimming!

He was really excited to go. It's been awhile since I have taken him to the pool so he was ready to get back in the water.

Unfortunately when they got out to the pool they found out that it is closed for the winter. Seriously ... in Vegas??

Luckily the hotel room had a huge jetted tub in the room so we let Gavin hang out in there.

He loved it!

We had a great weekend and I was happy that they were able to come with me!

I love the way that Gavin is looking at Andrew in this picture!

One morning we went to sports chalet. Gavin loved riding the bike. I LOVE his face!! I know it's kind of blurry in the video. But he has this very proud look on his face.

This is after Gavin figured out how to turn on the water in the tub. We couldn't keep him from doing it. Sometimes he would get scared and run out of the room though.

Old Town Christmas

We love Old Town during the Holidays!

Checking out the decorations at Stats, the best Christmas store ever!

Gavin loved all the bright lights everywhere!

Can anyone guess the movie?

We decided to put Gavin in the "toys for tots" donation ornament.

There seems to be a tree in our living room ...

We decided to get a Christmas tree this year!! Andrew pointed out that it was weird that I waited until the year that we have a toddler to actually get a real Christmas tree, but I think that it is the perfect year to get a tree because we knew Gavin would love it!

We went to Home Depot and found the perfect tree!

Andrew strapped it to the top of our car and we brought it home.

After putting Gavin to bed we got the tree inside and put up the lights.

I had a swim meet the next morning and I was sad that I wasn't going to be here to see Gavin's first reaction to seeing the tree in our apartment, so Andrew recorded it for me. You can tell that he is very confused at first. But then I love how he keeps "talking" to the tree. The video is a little long, but it's so cute!
