Ariana's First Thanksgiving

Ariana celebrated her first Thanksgiving in Washingtion, Missouri this year with Sean's family. We did so much and had so much fun I don't know where to begin with our trip. First off Ariana had her own seat on the way to Chicago for our connecting flight to St. Louis. This really helped with us getting a semi break but she was in our laps most of the time. She only slept 30 minutes the entire trip which was crazy!!! We didn't get into St. Louis until almost midnight so it was a LONG day to say the least and mommy and daddy were exhausted! (The flight back was even more crazy because she wanted to be up the entire time. Add that to a full seven days of fun, off schedule, too much sugar, another cold, teething, and we were in the makings for a horrible return flight. Let's just say mommy and daddy agree that we won't be getting on a plane with her anytime soon!)

We celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas while we were there! What a whirlwind it was. We never sat still very long even though we were on vacation!
