New Year's Eve Fun!

Happy New Year's Eve!  Our tradition of celebrating with Sara's parents and the Holts continue!  We did a bunch of appetizers - too many actually and had a lot of fun playing games and chatting!  Ashley got herself dressed and picked out knee highs and high heels.  She just makes us smile!  When it was bedtime the kids picked Nana and Papa to read them a book!  We are all sad that the Grandparents are leaving in the morning :(  We've all enjoyed our time together!!

Little of This, Little of That

We always stay busy when Nana and Papa come to town and this Christmas is no different.  Daddy took time off of work so he could relax and enjoy the holiday season too!  Lots of cards, puzzles and little outings including checking out a new holiday light display called the Stuart Family Lights outside of Fayetteville!  Ashley used a different kind of sleep mask to wear en route LOL








 We also tried out an Escape Room!  SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!  And we escaped, whew!!!
 Also saw the Bentonville Heart Lights which are incredible and timed with music that is synced with your car radio.  
 And let's all try to forget about that awful Vikings game :(. At least the wings at B-dubs were good!
Last but not least, Brian and Sara snuck off to Tulsa for a quick date getaway.  We stayed at the Hard Rock casino and did some shopping the next day.  
Don't worry though we didn't have all the fun, the kiddos loved their special time with Nana and Papa.  Pretty sure the feeling was mutual!  They packed in their own fun coloring, baking gingerbread men, eating at McDonalds, going to the Amazeum, and playing Xbox.  Ashley also learned how to tie her shoes and Trevor learned to swallow pills!!!  Yipeeee!!  Thanks Mom and Dad!!!!! XOXO











December Happenings

December is always a busy - but FUN - month for the Hillins clan!  Besides all the other posts we enjoyed tennis team parties, a new phone for Sara, new haircuts, lots of play dates, new fun flannel sheets, pedicures, hockey games and practices, shopping, crafting, strep throat for Trevor :(, well checks, holiday parties, school entrepreneur projects, Lego building, letter writing to Jake our elf and lots and lots of reading for Trevor!  What a great month!!!
