This Christmas Birch and I also couldn't figure out what to buy for each other so when we were offered tickets to the U of A/BYU game in Las Vegas we decided to go. We were already driving up to Flagstaff for the holidays, so we left a few days early and Trevor got to stay with my parents.
The trip was actually really fast--we weren't even in Las Vegas for more than 24 hours. After driving Saturday morning we had lunch at the ESPN Zone restaurant in the New York, New York hotel/casino. Any guy who likes sports would have loved this place! Everywhere you looked there were big screen TV's and the menu was full of all kinds of nasty sports-watching food. The U of A basketball game was actually on when we were there so I could watch something that I kind of cared about. :)
Then I had my fun time and we walked down the strip looking through the hotels and shopping. Neither of us had been to Vegas since we were kids so it was fun to see it again.
That night we bundled up for a FREEZING football game! I think I was wearing six layers on top and still needed some hot chocolate. We were sitting on the BYU side, which was such a nice break from the language we usually get from U of A fans. But I have to say, the crowd wasn't nearly as fun on our side. I think a little alcohol (or a lot) helps the UA crowd get riled up.
Here are our friends Troy and Eevi who got us the tickets to the game. Thanks, guys!!!
After U of A won we went down on the field with the crowd to celebrate. After this trip I am determined to be better about date nights. We get so busy with school, Trevor, church, etc. that I forget how fun it is to be together when it's just us.

that is fun!! I am so glad you guys got to spend some time together!!
Camille, I didn't know you guys went down on the field at the end of the game - that's way cool. We had so much fun at Christmas. I think your next post should be a picture of Birch in his new pants you made him. :)
That's so great! How fun to have some time with just you two! Aaron will be jealous when I tell him you were there...of course he was rooting for the other team...
Hope everything is going well with you guys!
You can tell how cold it is by your smiles...or maybe you were really happy not to have Trevor with you. I keep telling you I am all about the sleepovers at the grandparents!
Good for you guys! You totally deserve that date! Looks like you guys had tons of fun! Love football! Dates are a must especially when you have little ones at home. :)
