Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we surprised our family in Utah. We told my parents because we stayed with them but no one else knew. It was fun to go back and see family we were on the go the whole time we were there. I can't wait to live close to family. We stopped in Barstow and went to a park and had lunch Emma loved it her and Daniel played for about an hour.

My aunt has a house by St. George and let us stay there. It's nice to be able to break up the 12 hour drive. It is much easier to make the drive with an infant than it is a toddler. Emma took her afternoon nap and was ready to get out and play. So it was fun to have a house to get out and play in.

We got there and my brother and his girlfriend came down to see us.

Emma has all these toys and the thing she wants to play with was the laundry basket.

My mom got princess dresses and had to try them on Emma.

Daniel's dad came in from Georgia and had no clue we were coming. We went to the airport to surprise them. Daniel looking to see if they are coming.

Emma can't wait to see them.

They walked right by us but Emma had squeaky shoes on so as soon as she got down they turned and saw us.

Reading with grandpa, grandma, and Micheal.

We stayed out to late at night and when Emma gets tired she gets so funny. She would dance around and laugh. She loved all the attention.

Saying our goodbyes

On the way back home we stopped and stayed the night at my aunts house again. This time she was there with her two dogs. Daniel and Emma had fun playing with them. Emma got shoes that squeak and they dogs were going after her to get them. She would run to get away from them and they would run after her. It was so funny.

Finally home. Daniel wanted to get an early start when we left for Utah but set the alarm clock wrong so this time we wanted to make sure we got an early start so Emma would sleep more. We got up and left by 6 and it worked Emma slept and we were able to make it home with only making one stop. But that could have been because she didn't feel good.

We got home and Emma was sick and just laid down and went to sleep.
