Thanksgiving 2010

Elliott had a wonderful first Thanksgiving! She took her first road trip to New Mexico. The trip takes 8 hours as long as we don't stop often . . . and she did great! She only fussed a few times each way. She mostly napped, played with mom, dad, and grandma, and tried to think of ways to get us to stop and let her out of that car seat! She also did well sleeping in the pack 'n play. She hasn't slept anywhere but her bed since she was 2 months old, but I think she would've slept anywhere by the time we got to our hotel room. She was so tired! I also thought she may be overwhelmed by the amount of new people she would meet, but once again, she reminded me of what a laid back, easy-going baby she is. She let everyone hold her and play with her. She only had one episode where threw a tantrum, but that was the only time anyone saw her cry throughout the whole trip. She's so awesome!

The whole family (from Rita's side) came this year.

Ellie's first Thanksgiving

I'm so thankful for this sweet baby girl

Ellie with her cousins Caden, Sadie, Haven, and Josh.

(This was just after the tantrum and

just before she crashed for the night.)

I love this picture of her in her coat and hat!

I could totally do without the picture of me

first thing in the morning.

Gettin' ready to head home.

Happy Thanksgiving 2010!
