Our trip to Vegas




Alissa and I flew to Las Vegas last week to meet our newest baby girl addition to the Wirthlin fam. Melissa and I enjoyed juggling 5 kids, running errands, entertaining kids, wiping snotty noses, and learning to use my Mom's Cricut and do CRAFTS! It was so fun to be there together and to meet Baby Claire. She is beautiful and so tiny. It is amazing how much you forget how tiny they are and then they grow so quickly! Luke was born the Christmas before Alissa and they had fun playing together this trip. Granted, neither of them wanted to share with one another and just wanted the toy the other one had, but I think by the end, they really loved each other's company! Alissa, also, was very curious of baby Claire and didn't seem to get too jealous when I would hold her. In fact she loved giving her kisses on the head and would always look to see where she was. It was fun to see Alissa not being the littlest cousin anymore. Weird! Here are a few pics! Thanks Steve and Melissa for letting us come and visit!

Alissa loved playing on the playground while we waited to pick Kate up from school.

She's starting to look like you!!! So how are you able to fly around to all these places? You'll have to give me some tips so I can take some vacations home too! We can't wait to see you - whenever we see you...

It was so good to talk to you today! I had to come check out your blog to see Alissa...I haven't looked at blogs for a while. She is so cute! I so wish we could take them to the park together. We would have a blast and so would they!
