Our Thanksgiving trip to Texas

So, Monday we got up and had a nice morning. That afternoon we left for the airport! Usually, for me, flying is grand. This time was much different. I was sick the whole flight and used multiple barf bags. Luckily, Analynn was happy as could be sitting in her daddies lap.

We got to Grandma and Grandpas at about 7:30 that night, after a very long drive home from the airport. Analynn screamed the entire drive.

Tuesday we all drove to Austin to pick up Uncle Ryan and Aunt Katie. That trip wasn't as bad. We all stopped to eat at this absolutely delicious burger joint. Analynn enjoyed eating there, too :]

 

 

      

 

Aunt Diana, Uncle Miles, and cousin Cora got in that night. Analynn was so happy to see Cora!

Wednesday we all just hung out at the house during the day. Except for lunch- the older girls went to Martha's Bloomers. Analynn and Cora made friends with the huge blow up turkey outside. (Analynn seriously loved that turkey and she really REALLY loves Cora.)

 

 

Analynn also thoroughly enjoyed the trampoline. Cora did not.

She got crazy static hair!

 

She also went on a teeter-totter for the first time.

That night we went to Santa's Wonderland.

 

 

Thursday we ate a wonderful meal and had some great quality time as a family.

 

 

That night we had a bonfire and did fire works. Analynn is a fire work lover just like her dad!

 

She tried on Grandma's shoes and "loved" on Cora before bedtime.

Friday we went and played laser tag, put-put, and bowled. Cora and Analynn had matching hair that day. It was so cute!

 She is fake crying here. So dramatic.

 Story time with Grandma!

Hammock time!

Naps with mom :]

 

Analynn had to help everyone bowl. I think it's safe to say that she's now a pro- bowler.

 

 

She got to enjoy some Dippin' Dots after all her activities.  

All of the adults took their winnings and got these three toys for the kids.

That night she enjoyed "helping" daddy and uncle Ryan wrestle.

 

Saturday we left Analynn with Grandma and Grandpa. Charlie, Ryan, Katie and I enjoyed some time hanging out together.

Before leaving, I got some practice holding two in... 

 And daddy showed Analynn how to use the treadmill.

 

While we were gone she played hard, which resulted in her and Grandpa needing a nap.

She got to play video games for the first time that day, too.

 

The blow up turkey was put away; but thankfully, another blow up toy was put up!

 That night we celebrated cousin Cora's birthday, and did an early "Christmas".

 

Katie and I showing off our mom butts, and baby bumps. Haha!

 

Sunday we went to church and played games.

Monday Katie and I went and got our nails done while Analynn got to spend time with Grandma.

Our bumps! Just one week apart!

 They walked down to the lake and Analynn got to go out on the lake. She went paddle boating and got to watch daddy and Uncle Ryan go swimming.

We played games while she napped. Grandma and Grandpa took Ryan and Katie to the airport while we did laundry and packed. That night she enjoyed some playtime with Douglas the fur. She loves him. And cookies.

 

 

Tuesday we headed home. The flight was much better that time around!

 

 

 

Once home, we decorated for Christmas, ate dinner, and went to bed!

 She carried that pillow around like a purse!

 

Today we went to the Pediatrician. Analynn has strep! So my poor girl had to get a Penicillin shot. She did weigh 22.5 lbs though... that made me happy. 

Here are our Christmas decorations :]

 

Oh, and here is the new Kitchen Aid my Aunt Debby sent me! I LOVE it so much!!

 

Charlie thinks our tree looks super dinky in this house. Oh well, haha!

We had such a fun trip, but are sure glad to be home! We have so many things to be thankful for like our health, home, and family. We just have so many blessings to be thankful for! I love this time of year.
