First Road Trip



our little turkey-6 weeks old




We had a really nice Thanksgiving. We headed to Monroe, LA to see Arnold's parents. It was Peyton's first road trip. I must say that she did really good. She slept the whole time in the car, and even when we were in Monroe, she was a good girl. But I tell you, packing for a trip with a baby is a whole new experience. It's like you have to take half the house with you. The car was loaded down, and we were only there for four days. It was great though because I got some rest! Arnold's dad and mom were more than happy to hold her A LOT! It was so nice!!!

Last night, we put up our Christmas decorations. Some may say it's kind of early (of course not compared to all the stores who now start putting out their Christmas stuff by HALLOWEEN), but we like to enjoy it all since we always travel for the holidays. And Peyton slept in her swing, so it was the perfect opportunity. Our little six foot Walmart Charlie Brown tree looks pretty good. I hope we get to look at Christmas lights this year as well. I love looking at the tacky gaudy Christmas displays. The tackier, the better for me....you know...the Christmas displays where the people have plastered the lights to the house and have 12 blow-up things in their yard along with a lot of other Christmas junk. It makes it interesting :)

Hope you like the picture of our little Thanksgiving turkey!
