Cayci's first soccer game

Her team is called the "Shooting Stars" and they won their first game!  I am so thankful there are parents out there who have enough patience to coach a K-1 soccer team, because I KNOW it isn't me!!!  Cayci had lots of fun!  She's taking a nap because she definitely wore herself out!

FRESH!

One of my favorite parts about grocery shopping here is the fresh fruit!  Cayci's favorite has become kiwi (although I have to admit it's one of my favorites too!).  It's too bad we don't like vegetables, because there is an abundance of that here too!

One specially for David and Amber

If you've ever wondered if you buy the right toys for little girls, just look at this picture!  David and Amber bought these elephants for Cayci YEARS ago, and she still plays with them weekly!  It's absolutely one of her favorite things to do.... line up the elephants and take them for a walk!

Low Key New Year's Eve

The rest of the pictures are of all those who fell asleep before midnight!

(Logan was at a party until after midnight---)

Random!

Yep-- swimming in December!  Although WAY too cold for me!!!  

Cake our landlord sent us!  And, you can't tell-- but it's REALLY big!!

Free Buffet on Base

In the afternoon, we enjoyed good friends, and great food at the FREE buffet on base!!

Nathanial got onto Cayci, and you would have thought she lost her best friend!  She cried for a LONG time!

Christmas Morning

Was a great Christmas for all of us!  

Nathanial arrives safely on Christmas Eve

After a long two hour delay in Kuwait, Nathanial arrived safely in Bahrain!  When he came around the corner after getting off the plane, Cayci ran to him and he picked her up.  She immediately starting crying, and when I asked her why, she said, "Don't you know, Mommy.  Sometimes people cry when they haven't seen someone for a long time."  Just about broke my heart.  I do believe that Nathanial and her cat, Bisquit, are the only two things she misses!

Christmas Caroling!

Yes, even in Bahrain!  We had a couple of kids from school going around and caroling for everyone.  They ended up kidnapping Logan to participate with them!
