Our Little Traveler

So, Christine has been on a plane twice in the past couple of weeks. We went to Kansas City for Thanksgiving. My uncle Jim lives in Kansas City and my mom's side of the family met out there. It was interesting traveling with an infant for the first time. It involved a lot of planning, but we made it without any problems. I was really worried about getting all the formula and other liquids that Christine requires, but it was actually really easy. It definitely takes a lot longer getting through security, but it all went smoothly. Christine was awesome! She didn't get fussy or anything on the plane. We got to see Andrew again. It's so much fun to see him with Christine. He's going to be an incredible uncle! Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving:

Then the next weekend we flew to Indianapolis. Our company's holiday party was in Cincinnati on Saturday, so we flew into Indy so my parents could watch Christine while we went to the party. Friday night we had Christmas with my dad's side of the family. It was fun to see everyone! I have a cousin that had a baby in June (Riley Craig) and another cousin who had a baby in August (Alexis Rachelle) and then there was Christine. My grandma was beside herself! Then on Saturday Brian and I woke up and headed to Cincinnati. Bedford was hit with a snow storm so we had to drive through that first...I didn't think we were going to make it! Brian described the snow storm as the "white death." Before going to the party we stopped in to see the Davids. (Patty had a baby (Trevor) on the same day as Christine!) It was so much fun to catch up with them and meet Trevor and see how tall Lucas is. We also got a tour of their new house. Brian was super jealous because they have a 3 car garage! :) Then we went to see the Eversons. We miss everyone so much!! I was so proud of myself for not calling my parents until 5pm to check on Christine. It was really hard to be away from her, but she was in good hands. My parents had a blast with her! Anyway, we partied with our dunnhumby friends and then spent the night in the "nati." We had to get up at 6am to make it back to Bedford for church. Christine was able to meet her Fayetteville Baptist family who of course, made a huge fuss over her. It was a lot of fun! We stayed in Bedford until Tuesday. I was able to have some girl time with Brittany which included a much needed pedicure. :) On the way home our flight was cancelled due to mechanical problems and then our next flight was delayed. We finally made it back to ATL and found out that our luggage didn't make it. Luckily, I had all of Christine's necessity's with me. We got home around 7pm and our luggage was delivered at 11:30pm. So, it wasn't too bad. Christine slept all day the next day! She was exhausted! Here are some pics from our trip:
