Mandair

The Adairs FINALLY got home from their trip to Australia the day after New Years. We were more than ready to have our best friends back! :)

We surprised them and met them at the airport. Our kids were hiding behind the glass so they wouldn't be spotted too soon.

Joey did most of the hiding...the girls weren't as concerned with crouching down...

It was fun to see their surprised faces. Connor pulled out all of his Australian money right away to show Joey.

I love this "I missed you!" hug!

Norah drew special pictures for Matthew.

When we knew the Adairs were going to be gone over Christmas, we thought we were not going to get to do our annual Mandair Christmas. But, we decided we could do it the weekend they got back and still do it! The kids were very excited.

Audrey made this fun sign. And I left all our Christmas decorations up. 

A group shot (except Andrew. He wasn't really in the picture-taking mood.) :)

The kids exchanged gifts. The Adairs brought presents from Australia, so that was so fun!

 

I love seeing their excited faces. 



We are so glad to have them back!

We are back in full school mode now. It has been going really well. Kylah has been doing great on being excited about going to school in the morning (she had a little bit of a rough time for the first few months of this school year.) The kids already have this Friday and next Monday off, so yay for a four day weekend (for them....)!!
