I knew it would fly by. I thought I would be super sad when it came to an end and my olders went back to Ohio. I was sad, but I am ready to get 2019 started. It was so great having them here though. Andy got a new guitar and Blake gave him lessons.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

We went to the arcade down the street a couple times to play old games.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Eva was so happy to have the big bros back.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So were the dogs.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Twas the night before Christmas….<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

Blake gave me this for Christmas \ud83d\ude42 Probably my favorite gift.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our weather was off and on rain for a couple days. Hudson found the book Austin was reading. He thought it was about a dog.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Andy took the boys to a tank museum that Cole had been wanting to check out. Eva and I decided to stay behind.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After Christmas we spent an evening at the Chinese Lantern Festival<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It amazes me that this dog isn’t even two yet and is so big, but can roll up so small<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It got warm again and it was flip flop weather<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I decided that it was time to downsize my huge Toyota Sequoia since we aren’t hauling around 4 kids all the time. I still wanted something big enough for the two big dogs though. Settled on a mid-size SUV.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

New house progress. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last night before the kids left for Ohio we went over to Durham to have dinner and then again to the arcade by our house.<\/p>\n

\"\"

\n\"\" <\/p>\n

Cole wrapped up and passes the NC test for temps (barely)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cole and Andy went to see the Carolina Hurricanes play the Columbus Blue Jackets. CBJ lost but at least they had awesome first row seats.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And with that 2018 came to an end. Bring on 2019!<\/p>\n
