Great Family Weekend!








Such a great family weekend!! It was an absolute blast!! Mike and I headed down for Brian's commissioning and to pick up our new car Friday morning and left Sunday afternoon. When we got there on Friday, we dropped off the rent car and then picked up the Expedition EL! It was so cool and exciting! That night, Kyle was in town so all the family came over for a big dinner, which was soo much fun spending time with everyone and eating tonz of food :) On Saturday, we all headed out to Rice University for Brian's marine commissioning. Mike wore his deltas and Brian was in his officer dress blues. They both looked awesome!! There was a great guest speaker and it was exciting to see Christina turn Brian's uniform into an official marine officer uniform with the kids. It was also really exciting to see Mike present Brian with his first salute as an officer! Two Bassi brothers, which was awesome! Afterwards, we headed to The Woodlands at Dosey Doe's for the after party. It was so great spending time with everyone and eating great food. The kids were all able to run around and play and all the adults were able to catch up and celebrate. Since Kyle headed out earlier that day, his bedroom at my parent's house was available. We offered for Jim, Lexi, and the kids to stay in his room and then for everyone else to come to the house to continue the celebration and catching up. Brian and Christina ended up staying at the house with the kids since it was a long day, but Joe, Matt, Heather, Jim, Lexi, and the kids all headed out to Kingwood. We had a great time talking and hanging out that night and the next morning we ate a big breakfast my parents made and everyone headed home. All together, this trip was an absolute blast!!
