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!

Cayci and I cooking--!

We are having Logan's math teacher and family over this evening to play some board games, so Cayci and I got ambitious and made some brownies and a pecan pie to share.  Notice the five towels I made her put underneath!!!

Greatest Invention EVER!

When we go to the grocery store, we found that we have the coolest shopping carts EVER!  First of all, they go all directions (side to side, as well as front to back).  Then we found out that the wheels are magnetized (or something??) and when you go up and down the ramp like escalators, the carts won't budge--  isn't that too cool???  I had to share!!!

Day Out on the Town - New Mall!!

 All the malls we've been to have these great parking garages underneath them.

 This is actually the floor in the mall!!  Isn't it beautiful??

Eric and I ventured out on our own to a new mall to do some last minute shopping.  We had a great time!!!

School Christmas Crafts

We had an enjoyable, fun filled week of making great crafts!  And eating yummy treats during our party!

Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony On Base

What fun!  Cayci being able to get up on stage and sing with her Friday School class....  And wow!  That's a tree--isn't it??  Oh, notice the "snow" that got piped into the event the whole night!!
