Ella's First Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with my family. We drove up Thursday morning in hopes of missing the bad weather, and we did. We had a nice time with mom and dad. My sister and her boys came over later. Asher and Liam were excited to see their baby cousin. Friday we took it easy and I got to sleep in for the first time since Ella was born. We also got some snow. Saturday we went to see JoAnn, Chris' grandma. We had a nice visit with her and she was thrilled to see her great grand daughter. We were hoping to see Betty, Chris' other grandma, but she was placed in a nursing home and we couldn't get the details of where that was. My parents took us to Red Lobster for dinner that night and Ella behaved beautifully, it was the first time she has been to a restaurant. Sunday we went to church, it was her first time to church too. She did great and barely made a peep.  The drive home was very exciting. We left at 3 and got home at 9. The weather man lied. We weren't suppose to get any snow and if we did it was suppose to be an inch. We got a foot and a half. We didn't want to drive in snow and at night with a baby and our cat (Sophia came too), but we got stuck in the middle of the storm. It was not fun feeding Ella in the back of the car and changing her diaper on the car seat with the door open and the snow falling. It didn't help that she pee and got all wet with the car door open. Poor thing was cold! Lucky we had a change of clothes, more blankets and a car bottle warmer. I don't think we'll make this mistake again.
