Happy Thanksgiving

Today is a time to spend with family and friends and we are fortunate enough this year to be "home" for the holiday. It is great to be with our family. We had a VERY long trip. Bob picked me up after work on Tuesday with our new vehicle fully loaded and he had gotten Bradyn from daycare. So I changed clothes at work and then off we went. Our new vehicle rides so nice and did great through the snow! We left at 5:30 pm central time and got to PA at 5:30 am eastern time! Bradyn did really well. He watched 101 Dalmatians FOUR times without the sound. He did not like the earphones on his head! But he just sat and giggled and kept saying "Puppies" - so cute.. He is a belly sleeper so he was not real comfortable sleeping in his car seat. He would fall asleep and then 10 minutes later fuss and then fall asleep again. But overall he did very well. We stopped for dinner and then once for gas and that was it. We started to hit some snow around Columbus Ohio and then it got worse as we headed east and then we hit Somerset County and it was sleeting and snowing! Typical PA weather!!


We got to meet the newest member of our family-Mia. This is Bob's sister's baby. She is very cute and has lots of dark hair. Bradyn can say her name because we have been working on that.
He really isn't that interested in her but he did try to give her some blocks to play with!!

So we got some sleep yesterday and then last night we went to church with my parents. Bradyn was very good in church and then we stopped to see my grandma and she was very excited to see Bradyn. It has been almost a year since he has seen her. Today Bradyn slept in and then we had turkey at Bob's parents for lunch and then we are going to my parents for dinner. We did get to see my sister yesterday for a few hours which was nice but then she had to go home. Bradyn hasn't been afraid of going to anyone. He acted like he sees everyone all the time. My parents have an Irish Setter puppy and he really liked her which is unusual because he has been very fearful of dogs.

We are off to shop tomorrow but we definitely won't be early birds. I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday and I will have to post pictures when I get home!
