We spent the night in Tulsa and flew out early early in the morning to spend the week in Phoenix! Plans had to be flexible because Brian's Aunt Lorraine went up to Heaven so the Hillins would be in Syracuse for the funeral. Jeff and Brian tried hard to get there as well but a huge snow storm was against them. So here is the recap of the busy week! We flew in first and thankfully Miss Julie and Remy picked us up from the airport! We got to have the yummiest Korean food from possibly the sketchiest place ;) at their house and hang out for a while before Jeff and the girls flew in. Ashley and Remy picked up like no time had passed of course!
When the girls and Jeff arrived, first things first! The pool!!
Mommy had originally planned a big girls night for Tuesday but with everything going on rescheduled to Saturday. Less people could come but that's okay. Sara and Julie got to have Happy Hour together before Kristen, Erica and Angela arrived!
On Sunday we had planned our 2nd Annual Friendsgiving! We started by having a street party with our old neighbors!
Then headed over to Erica's for the festivities!
Always a good time to see our friends!! We miss them so much but we were ready for Dawn to come. We Facetimed her quick before her flight Monday AM.
The kids had dentist appointments on Monday so we headed over to Julie's for a bit to hang out bc Mr. Bobby had an emergency surgery pop up so our appointments got pushed back. Worked out great for us! We put together a turkey :)
The kids had great check-ups!
As did Mommy! She had her sealant done again!
Ashley may be a pediatric dentist when she's older! She was fascinated!
Bobby made Brian a new retainer for all of his night grinding!
Then we met Jeff, Dawn and the girls for lunch before heading back to the Hillins for swimming and fun! Including opening birthday presents from them!
Grandma and Papa John arrived home on Wednesday night and Thursday Thanksgiving Day we woke up and got started on our duties for the big meal. Kids got to help make the stuffing!
As is becoming tradition we took family pictures looking all fancy. First time that we didn't coordinate clothes and it still turned out cute!
Cheers!
Ashley switched into a more comfy Thanksgiving outfit than her dress. Cutie pie!
Aunt Nancy, Frank, Tammy and Sienna came over for Thanksgiving. It sure was good to see them and catch up!
We spent a lot of time in the pool on Thanksgiving so that Jeff, Dawn and the girls could soak up there last day in paradise before heading back to MN.
And of course a dance party!
When it was finally time for dessert (!!) we also sang Happy Birthday to both kids!
On Friday the 25th we woke up and it was Trevor's 7th birthday!!!! Birthday boy wanted to celebrate by having cake with all of his buddies at our old park and that is what we did!
After Trevor's party Bobby, Julie and Remy came up to the Hillins to swim and have dinner. Julie made her amazing Korean BBQ and it was so good to have special time with our friends.
The last supper :(
We know Ashley, it's hard to say goodbye to friends :(
On Sunday before flying out we stopped by the Fireside park for one last hurrah!
We had such a good time in AZ with friends and family it was hard to leave. But we are so thankful to have good friends and family to miss and visit again and again! XOXO When we finally got home Trevor was anxious to open his birthday presents. Can't believe we have a 7 year old!!!!!
