(Heather, Jen, Alexandra & Haley)
Jen and Kevin have been together as long as Michael and I, so when they announced they were getting married and wanted Alexandra to be one of their flower girls, Alexandra and I booked our tickets for Vegas! We decided to stay at the Excalibur where the other little flower girl Haley was staying and was known to be the best resort for kids. Alexandra loved the castle, it looked alot like Disney Land she said.
The wedding was awesome.. definately the highlight of our trip. I went to Vegas with preconceived ideas of how the wedding would be.. however it exceeded all of my expectations. It was one of the nicest weddings i've been too. And Jen was ecstatic that Alexandra was able to be there on her BIG day! Directly following the wedding ceremony at the Paris, we headed downstairs to one of their famous restaurants where the reception took place. I have never had soo much food! And all of the servers were amazing singers.. Jen and Kevin danced their first dance to the waiters singing.

The next evening some 30 guests from the wedding all met us at our hotel for a Jousting Tournament which the kids really really enjoyed. Haley and Alexandra had soo much fun hanging out and cheering for our prince, The Prince of Romania!
Our trip was hot but alot of fun! Our flights were another story! The next morning we had to be at the airport by 3am. We checked out, took a cab, waited an hr at the airport until Delta even turned their lights on. The first thing they told us was that our aircraft and crew never made it in the night before. I was soo MAD! I could not believe they didn't call us as they usually do! They could not get us on another plane until 1 pm which would put us in BWI early the next morning if there we no other delays.. not to mention this was the day of our settlement! Needless to say.. the crazy part.. we take a cab back to Kevin and Jen's honeymoon suite because most of our family members already had flights out of Vegas. Not only do we have to wake them up at 4:30 in the morning but Jen feels so bad that I am laying on the floor that she insists on me sleeping with them on their king size bed ON THEIR HONEYMOON, luckily it was the 2nd night after their wedding! AHHH! So here I am on the bed next to Jen and her new husband! LOL! A few hours their honeymoon breakfast is delivered.. the lady said she had never seen so many people in a honeymoon suite.. Amber was with us and Mike Kevins brother also crashed on their couch. We all enjoyed the breakfast and had a fun time waiting for our plane!

I heard all about the wedding crashing you guys did! hahaha.... all the more memorable! Your runarounds with the flights were unbelievable though, what a downer. Glad you guys were able to go, though, and be there for our Jenni
Looks like a great weekend for mommy and the big girl! I would love to go away with just my oldest daughter for a weekend! How fun (except for the flight delay - yikes!)
I can't believe the bad luck with the flights, especially after what happened with Spain. We're glad you got home safely.
Thanks for sharing the pics. The wedding looked fabulous.
One of the only things I LOVE about Vegas is the buffets! So much food and so good!
