Licia-Bryce

And another bites the dust. 2012 has been the year of the goodbye for us. No joke. Multiple close friends, almost all of the Nielson family, and now my sister and her husband have moved away from Utah.

We have known the Gessells were going for a while now, which softened the blow. We were able to force them to hang out with us a lot before they left. 
One thing we will miss a lot is our John sibling dinners. We have had a lot of them over the past couple of years. On Sunday we gathered for one last sibling dinner.

The girls were a bit rowdy during mealtime so we stuck them in front of the tv with popcorn. That's some great parenting right there.
Our girls, and especially Elise, love the Gessells. They first started dating when Sadie was a few months old  so Bryce has always been in their lives. 
On an unrelated note. Louie was so proud of herself as she sat on the footrest and clapped. She's great. 

After the girls were in bed we sat outside talking for a while. We will miss the Gessells a whole lot.

We made them take a family picture with our kids so they can frame it on their wall in Boston.

We don't have to go cold turkey away from the Gessells because we are heading to Boston next week!
