I am so glad that all of our families live in the same town. Even though it is hard to split up time, I feel like it makes the holidays way more fun. This year with Taylor's family we got to go down to the Grove. The Grove reminds me of so many sweet memories with my mom: eating out, shopping, mommy-daughter bonding. This year it was crazy to go with a baby. Everything is crazier and better when you have kids. It was hard for me to not get stressed, nursing in the car before we even began our night. Luckily, we found an amazing family room there. Shortly after Taylor and I were walking around it started to rain. I wish I could have captured how precious Taylor looked holding Harper running around laughing with rain pouring down on them. I hope I never forget that moment. It was pure magic. We spent the majority of our time at Barnes and Noble. Who doesn't love a good book store? Some of my favorite memories are going to bookstores with my parents, picking out a book, and reading it together. This Barnes and Noble however, had no chairs. And this tired, hormonal mama was NOT happy. Taylor's brother Lucas was so sweet and walked around with me basically the whole night trying to help me find somewhere to sit. It made me happy that Taylor's siblings like me. When they were little, they hated me. Mostly because I was Taylor's first girlfriend who also had a nose ring. I didn't take it too personal. I am excited for us all to stay friends forever and raise kids together. I am also excited for Harper to have like A LOT of cousins. I love these Kozaks.
