Dinner And A Stroll Around Downtown

    Last night we went on a double date with our good fiends {and our littles} to a sushi restaurant. We have heard a lot of good things about it, so we wanted to try it out. We got there as soon as it opened, but were told we would have to be done by 8 since they had a group with a reservation for that time. We didn't think it would take us an hour and a half to eat, so we were okay with staying. The food was pretty good, but we ended up having to rush towards the end because it was getting close to 8. It really wasn't our fault that it took so long for them to make our food...

 My cute dates!

Getting Ready For Christmas

    Since Thanksgiving, we have been very busy! We have spent a lot of time getting ready for Christmas {yay!} and doing lots of running around. On Black Friday, we went to the PX to see if we could get any good deals, but they were out of what I wanted. Then we went to Ikea to get some of Connor's gifts. He had fun running around the store with his daddy.

Our Friendsgiving

   We had a wonderful "Friendsgiving" for our first Thanksgiving out of the states. Our friends Lucas and Tawsha invited us, along with a bunch of Aaron's coworkers, to their house for dinner. There were about 30 adults and 8 kids all in one house! They live in the mountains almost an hour away from us, and have a beautiful view driving up to their house.

The best pic we could get from inside the car.

Giardini di Natale di Asiago {The Gardens Christmas in Asiago}

     Aaron arrived home safely from Germany today around noon. After driving for 8 hours, he was ready for a nap as soon as he got home. I had just put Connor down for his, so it worked out perfectly for us. After we woke up, we got ready to go to the Christmas market in Asiago. What I though was only going to be a 30 minute drive, ended up taking us over an hour. I didn't realize that it was deep in the mountains and on a super windy road. We should probably map it out before we leave next time. 

We saw snow in some areas.

FaceTiming With Santa

   Connor and I FaceTime with my mom on a daily basis, but recently we have started talking to someone else. Sometimes right in the middle of our conversations with her, Connor asks to talk to him! It's not grandpa, so who could it be? I'm sure my title gave it away, but it's Santa! It all started a couple days ago when my mom was in the attic going through her Christmas decorations. While we were talking with her, she showed Connor one of her many Santa decorations. 

This is the Santa that started it all!
