Thanksgiving Celebration and Travels

This Thanksgiving was different than any other Thanksgiving we've ever experienced. We traveled and did not stay in the same place two nights in a row! Packing, unpacking, packing, and unpacking again seemed to occupy the majority of our time. There is a lot to be said for traveling with an infant! So, lots of changes this holiday season. They are wonderful changes, though, and we wouldn't change it for anything. We had a great time just getting to see family (and friends), and enjoyed seeing Bryson interact with everyone. Aunt Amy hadn't seen Bryson since he was a few weeks old, and Great Aunt Kathy hadn't seen him since the day he was born. I loved being in one room and hearing all of our adult family members talking in baby talk to Bryson and hearing Bryson laugh and coo at them. (have you ever stopped to listen what we really sound like when we talk to babies??) This new little life that we have had the priveledge to enjoy for the last four months continues to amaze us every day. We are so thankful for our little one and the time spent with loved ones during this Thanksgiving holiday. Here are a few (or maybe more than a few :) pictures from our trip...
