It was a pretty low-key holiday season in our home this year. Since G went back to the US to walk at his graduation from Lamar (congrats, babe!), he brought home the typical holiday travelers cold so we were all under the weather on Christmas Day. Incidentally, if you didn't get a Christmas card from us, and you would like one next year, please input your address into our address book, and we will get you one! Plus, you will also get an announcement card when Baby #2 arrives.

| We couldn't be with G on his big day, but we re-created the moment at home after everyone was healthy again! |
We did get a chance to take our first grown-ups only weekend getaway to the desert. Miss J stayed with Baby L for 2 nights while we went to an all-inclusive desert resort for my birthday. Al Maha Resort is part of the Marriott Luxury collection, and G and I had a blast. We rode a camel, held a falcon, got spa treatments, and generally relaxed baby-free for 2 days...pretty much a little babymoon before Baby #2 shows up in May!
We gave Miss J the evening off for New Year's Eve so she could visit her daughter in Abu Dhabi, and just relaxed at home. Neither of us were able to stay awake until the midnight fireworks, but they did wake up Baby L and me! We have a nice view of the fireworks from our apartment, so I took her to the window to see the sparkly lights. At first, she was scared, and held onto me super tight, but after a few moments, I kept saying "Happy New Year! These are New Year Fireworks!" and when the show finished, she said in her cute little toddler voice, "Bye bye New Year!".
Our (growing) family is super excited for all the things that 2019 will bring, and we can't wait to share it with you on our blog!
