Welcome to 2018!

Our year is off to a great start!  We ended 2017 and started 2018 with our dear friends, the Smith family.  It was a fun evening together!  Lily was excited to make tres leches cakes for each of us.  They were delicious!
 The evening was lots of fun as we ate dinner, drank hot chocolate, watched the Falcons, and enjoyed being with our friends.
 We are so thankful for this crew!
 I never thought I would be one to tell stories about my dog, but this cracked me up.  Decker saw me sitting in the chair and eating a snack while I was reading one afternoon.  He came up and gave me his puppy dog eyes.  I said "You can't have this Decker, it's chocolate."  I kid you not, he turned around and sat like this with his back to me for a solid five minutes before walking away!  Cracked me up.
 Don't even remember where I took this or why, but I just love my beautiful Lily.
 Mia's class went to the symphony this month, and she had a great time sitting with Eliana!
 We couldn't believe the girls had another two days of school cancelled due to snow and ice!  They certainly didn't mind though.  Decker had lots of fun playing in the snow too!
 Both of my beautiful girls with their new glasses!  Lily has worn glasses for several years now, though these blue frames are new.  Mia however has always had great vision.  She's been so upset that she hasn't needed glasses yet!  At this year's check-up, the doctor said glasses could alleviate some strain while reading, though they weren't needed all the time (yet).  We caved.  It will help her with reading which is super important, and she loves them.  How could we not?!  She picked out a great pair of blue and red ones.  Look how precious they both look!
 Saturday night Ryan and I went to a prayer gathering at the Casey's house.  The girls went over to hang with the Hendersons while we went.  I love this picture of Lily with John Asher who just turned six months old.  How adorable is he?  Lily is very excited to start learning how to babysit, so she had fun helping Jill and Brian with him while there.  I think she'll make a great babysitter as she gets older and learns even more about kids.
Just some of the fun we've had already this month!
