Aunt Ali at Christmas Time

My sister Ali came to visit. This is a few pictures of the time she spent with Nick and Olivia. 

Episode 7 The Force Awakens

Chris wrote this on his facebook status on Thursday, before he went to see Star Wars Episode 7!  Melted my heart! 

"A few years ago I never imagined we would have another Star Wars movie, let alone a sequel. Well here we are. I remember seeing Star Wars in the 70s with my mom, brother and grandma at the Wichita Mall. I have fond memories of seeing Empire and Jedi with my friends at the Twin Lakes theatre. All of these thoughts are going through my head as I prepare to see Episode 7 tonight.

I was 5 when I saw Star Wars for the first time. As excited as I am to see it tonight, I am even more excited to take Nick to see it on Saturday. Nick is also 5. It starts again. I hope Nick enjoys Star Wars as much as I have over the years. I hope he remembers this Saturday 30 years from now and says, "man, that was awesome "."

Today was the day we took Nick to see the new Star Wars IN THE THEATRE!  It was really good! He was glued to the movie, and kept looking at us throughout it....which he saw us staring right back at him! Ha, I am pretty sure I watched Nick and Chris watch the movie more than I watched the movie ;-) 

But seriously, It was a great movie! I am sure we will be seeing it a few more times before it leaves the theatre!  

Picture with Santa

Santa went to Nick's class this past week! Nick was so excited to talk to him! 

Christmas at the Zoo

On Saturday, Chris took Nick to the zoo with some friends of ours. This was the day the zoo animals received their Christmas gifts! 

Olivia's 2nd Birthday Party

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! These are the photos from Chris' phone. We actually did take some photos with Nick too, They are unfortunately on my phone, which broke this weekend. :( 

Olivia was so tired...I went to go lay down with her and realized, this will be the last time she is a 'baby" before next year!
