New Year's Eve
I can't believe we are already 22 days into 2018! Time is flying by and I am 22 days behind in blogging. I need to get caught up, so today is the day.
Our New Years Eve was spent at my parents house surrounded by friends and family. It was perfect, and I probably put on five more pounds because all I did was eat. We played mexican train, played with sparklers, and enjoyed one anothers company. Once the clock struck midnight, we were pretty much all ready for bed. My how life has changed once you have kids. Haha! Enjoy the pictures below from our day!
2017 was a good year for us!

Italy Besties Reunite
I know I have said it before, but I will say it again. When you're a military family, and living either overseas, in a new state, or just someplace away from family, the friends you make there become family. That has been the what has happened with our good friends from North Carolina and Italy.
It had been seven months since we saw our good friends Kelsey and Matt, and a year and a half since we saw our friends Morgan and Levi. We met both of them while living in Italy, and I talk with the girls daily. Our kids consider each other best friends just like we do. Heck, Olivia and Aurora were born just hours apart on the same day!
Over the holidays Kelsey and Matt came home to Texas to visit their family, and planned to spend their last night in Texas with us. We were so excited when Morgan and Levi decided to also come and spend a week with us. It couldn't have worked out more perfectly when December 27 came around and the four of them {and their kids} came to our house.

Santa Came {& It Wasn't On Christmas Eve}
Like I mentioned in my last post, Santa didn't come to our house until the night of December 26. Somehow he knew we were going to be out of town on Christmas Eve, so he waited until we were home to visit Connor and Olivia. When we arrived at our house the afternoon of the 26th, Connor saw that his elf was waiting under our tree for him with a package and goodbye letter. Inside the package were pajamas for the kids, a plate for Santa's cookies, snacks for our movie night, and The Night Before Christmas to read at bedtime. That evening after the kids took their baths, we had a movie night and then Connor left cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for his reindeer before going to sleep.

Christmas 2017 {Christmas With Mimi}
We had a very Merry Christmas, and hope you did too! It was a little different because Santa didn't visit us over Christmas Eve, he decided to wait until we got back to our house on December 26. Connor didn't mind because he didn't really know any better. So our traditional making cookies on Christmas Eve was done on Christmas day so we could take them back with us to our house. Confused yet?! Hope not!
Since this was Olivia's first Christmas, we had to take a couple pictures in the morning wearing our pajamas. She was so happy! Afterwards we made sugar cookies!
