The day after we returned from our trip, the boys had their eye appointments.  Connor had his eye exam recently, and he just needed a pair of eyeglasses made in case when he sits in the back of a big classroom.  Logan had a visit with his regular eye doctor and fortunately his vision is stable, thus no change to his prescription and he did not need a new pair of glasses after all.

     For the evening, Lisa and John invited us over for a dinner.  The four of us had a good time catching up with each other while the boys had fun playing with Cole.  We also could spend some time with their dog and 2 of their cats, and we could watch part of the Warriors game and watched them winning this great game.

    On New Year eve, we spent a whole day indoor due to the weather.  We played one of my favorite board games Everdell with the boys and we played some video games together too.  The boys also spent some time with their friends online playing games later in the evening.  In the past we often struggled to stay awake to midnight, but we had no such issue in the recent years.  The four of us finally gathered together to watch a movie at 10pm, Top Gun Maverick.  We stopped for the count down to cheer for the new year.  The movie was great, so we returned back to it shortly after.  We did not go to sleep until past 1am.  Happy New Year to all!
