Day 16: Monday 12/29
Today was our last full day in Texas. We ate breakfast at Pappy and Carol's house and then went to Buy Buy Baby to pick out a new jogging stroller for Connor. The one we have is horrible on the streets in Italy, so we wanted one with rubber tires. Afterwards, we dropped Carol off back at home and went back to Chrissy and Ryan's house. We picked up grandma and went to our favorite Chinese restaurant in Southlake. It was the last place on our list to go to before we left the states. We did a little shopping after and then went back to the house.
Our friends Chris and Blair came over with their little girl, Ellie. We have been friends with them for a long time, and it was fun to catch up. The babies didn't get along as well as they did when they were smaller.
I love the face Ellie is making.
Eating godlfish.
After the left, we waited for everyone {Chrissy, Ryan, and Mimi} to come home from work. Grandma wanted a picture with the dogs and with Connor. She wanted to wear the same sweater she wore in a picture we took of her and Connor back in March when she came to visit us in North Carolina.
He has grown so much!
We went to sleep later then we wanted to before our long day of flying, but visiting with family was much more important.
Day 17: Tuesday 12/30
Aaron's dad picked us up early in the morning to take us to the airport. We had so many bags! We always pack way too much. The first flight we tried to get on was full, so we didn't get on that plane. We rushed to the next flight that was already boarding and got there just in time. We didn't think we were going to get on it either, and just when we were about to give up they called our names! Thankfully the family of 4 on the list before us didn't show up. The flight to Miami was only 2 1/2 hours. Aaron had to sit in front of us, but it was better then sitting far away. We had a 2 hour layover in Miami, but we boarded about an hour before takeoff. We all sat together this time :) Connor fought his sleep a lot, but he wasn't horrible.
We played games, colored, and watched shows.
Day 18: Wednesday 12/31
We landed in Milan at 5:30, an hour before we were expected to arrive. It was so nice to finally be back in Italy and so close to "home." You can read about the rest of our day here.
***Phew, those were a bunch of posts about Texas! Now I am all caught up!***
