We left for New York thinking that it was going to be a nice six and a half hour drive to my Mom's house for Thanksgiving... Boy were we ever wrong!!
Colton's first long car trip was not something that we were really excited about, but he is such a good flyer that we were hoping that he is just a natural traveller and will enjoy travelling around as much as we do (especially since we have such a hectic couple of months coming up...) He actually did rather well with the drive, I think that Kevan and I were worse off than he was... That nice trip ended up taking us 12 hours... Yes, thats right, I said 12 hours... I hate stupid drivers. I can't wait until we are out of Virginia. I have to say that the worst drivers on the road, no matter what state you are in ... Yup... You guessed it... VIRGINIA Drivers.... They don't understand that the left lane is for passing and they dont understand the speed limit is a guideline...
The worst is that everyone in VA drives to NY to visit their relatives so the entire way you are dealing with stupid Virginia people... I don't understand it.. It might be that they are NY transplants taking this slooow way of life a little too far... 
We had so much fun on thanksgiving and ate such amazing food. Mom really outdid herself... She never ceases to amaze me. Here she is, with a broken neck, still pulling off a Martha-worthy feast. She is the most amazing person and I am just so thankful this year that she is not only still alive, but still able to walk around... How lucky is she!!!
We had a nice dinner the day after Thanksgiving with two of Dave's sons, Brad and Terry. Terry's girlfriend Sabrina was also there and she is just so sweet. Colton really likes her and flirted with her a whole bunch!!
Kevan and I went out Friday night and left Colton with Grammy... We had fun, but it was a sad reminder of how we are just too old when we were both very hungover on Saturday.... Not very uplifting...
Its so weird to think about how a year ago, we were already pregnant. It's so fun to share the holiday season with Colton and we love having him around soo much!!
We have big travel plans for the rest of the Holidays: Florida for Christmas with Dad and Nana, Colorado the day after Christmas until after New Years and then we are going to Oklahoma in January so that Jim and Justin can finally meet the little man.
Colton is growing up so fast and he is smiling up a storm and loves to giggle. He is starting to enjoy tummy time as he has figured out that he can watch Football when he picks his head up...
He has started eating rice cereal and that has been a blast to watch him try and figure out what to do with it once its in his mouth. He actually does very well with it and most of it does end up in his belly. He's getting better every day with it. When we took him into the Dr. bc he had a cold last month, he weighed 14 pounds... We go back to the Dr for Colton Dec 11th and I can't wait to see what he weighs then!!! He is such a big boy. He was 25 inches the other day when I measured him.
