Thanksgiving

There are so many things I'm thankful for this year.  Especially my beautiful and healthy little Nicole!

Since we have been in Virginia, we have been in a hotel and Nicole hasn't really been sleeping very well.  This has prevented us from traveling around to see all our family like we planned.  We had grown really tired of the hotel though and decided we should probably get out of town for the week of Thanksgiving.  We decided to go to IL.  Nicole did awesome on the flight.  She played on the first leg and then slept on the second leg.  Then she slept the whole drive from St. Louis up to my Dad's house.  It was a great day!  I have a lot of family in IL and I wanted to see all of them.  Nicole met so many people!

We had such a great week and Nicole was even good for the return flight.  She even started teething while we were gone.  She was really congested and I think we may have discovered she is allergic to cats.  Despite all that, she was great and everyone she met fell in love with her.  I love showing her off to people.  Her smile just lights up the room.
