Anyone still there? I have seriously neglected this blog and the longer I went without posting the less desire I had to catch up. December had some major milestones for our family and I just felt guilty for not posting anything. I know no one cares to read it, but someday I want to print my blog out as a family journal, so I feel bad not having some of these things posted.
Hello, Eric's graduation! This poor guy has been in school for like 30 years! He passed his boards a couple weeks ago and is officially ready to administer your anesthesia.
Eric's parents came to visit/celebrate with us. Lily was so excited, she even planned an itinerary for their stay and dictated it to me. Here it is verbatim:
1. Go to Sweet Frog.
2. Go to the store and buy me some headbands.
3. Go to a fancy restaurant. There is a place I know called Chick-fil-A.
4. Play the pony game.
Eric's parents carried that around and crossed the list off as we went along. They made sure everything was completed before they left.
Lily turned 4. We had an awesome Knights and Princess party with Beckett. It will be strange going solo on these birthday parties next year. I don't even want to think about the Church's moving.
Christmas was really fun this year. For the first time we had Christmas morning in our own house. This was the first year Lily remembered her last Christmas so she fully knew what to expect and was excited about everything to come. Finn blindly fed off her excitement. He knew to look for the elf and expected a candy in our advent calendar every morning. I loved it. Christmas is way more fun as a parent than as a kid.

Melissa, Brett and Sarah all came for Christmas so for the first time in 8 years the whole Andrews family was together on Christmas.
Eric and I hosted Christmas Eve. We played a bunch of Minute to Win it games. It was really fun.
Melissa, Cooper and Sarah came up for a weekend . I loved that my kids could play with their only cousin on my side. I wish they lived closer so badly.
