Traveling girl!

We left at 6 pm on Friday night and drove through to Council Bluffs/Omaha. We got to sleep at 130 am and were back in the road at 9:00am.
We drove to North Platte, Ne and ate lunch at Ruby Tuesdays. Then we drove straight through to Evergreen, Co where were welcomed by the Tarasars with wine! We saw a lot of elk in the front yards on neighbors houses and we thought that was awesome! Steve and I can definitely see ourselves living in Denver or surrounding areas someday.

We had a wonderful dinner and conversation with Steve and Joan. Laila and I played with Natalie and laila just loves her!

We headed out from there around 9 pm and ended up in Pueblo a little after 11. Our first room had a pretty intense fountain springing from the bathroom, so we moved.

Once we were all settled in...sllleeep. Laila was such a good girl and we are so proud of her! We did meet Olivia this morning. She is simply perfection. I took a little nap with her while the others were out. Steve and laila laid on the bed too. Pictures to come!

Now, a much needed nap time!

My favorite time of year.

This time of the year, after Halloween and before Christmas, is my favorite. It is a time that I always feel like life slows down a bit, just for a brief moment. Summer is over and we rest out bodies from all the activities we Minnesotans cram into the warm months. Winter is not yet here but there is the anticipation of first snow and frosty windows. The feeling of non-stop hustle and bustle from Christmas has not set in yet.

I have always felt that Thanksgiving gets a bad wrap. It seems every year the surrounding holidays encroach upon its limited time a little more. This year I am saying ENOUGH. I am celebrating my holiday first. Back off CHRISTMAS! Stop encroaching on Thanksgiving.

My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Food, wine, family and naps. Seriously...what can be better?! It was this day two years ago that we told our families we were having Laila. We are so thankful for all the amazing things that have come our way in those 2 years.
