Ringing in the New Year Brazilian style

We headed back towards Houston on New Year's Eve. We were originally only going to stop for a few hours in Dallas before continuing on home, but at the last minute we decided to stay the night in Dallas with 'Aunt' Beth again.

We dropped Dasher off at Beth's house when we got into town then headed over to Paul's Titia Mattie's house for the girls to meet some of Paul's Aunts, Uncles and Vovô and Vovò for the first time. There were lots of people there and the girls also got to meet cousin Josiah for the first time since he was headed back to Beaumont too. We had fun meeting and catching up with new family members.

I love these outfits

More cousins to meet.


After dinner was over we headed to my friend Holli's house to stop in and say Happy New Year real quick. Holli and I used to work together until she ditched me for a guy and moved to Dallas. Luckily she comes to Houston to visit still and we drive through Dallas a lot so we still get to hang out.
This is from when they met Hollie for the first time in Houston. We didn't take a pic on New Years.

We got back to 'Aunt' Beth's house just in time for apple cider and hot cocoa and to tell Happy New Year!! We are so lucky 'Aunt' Beth lives half way between Houston and Minco so that we can break up our long drive.

However, I must say that we are very blessed because the girls are great travelers and either sleep or enjoy watching the cars go by in their mirrors. They are such sweet good babies. We hope you all had a wonderful New Years!
