Happy Thanksgiving!

For Thanksgiving this year, we got to go to my Grandma and Grandpa Driscoll's house. We were planning the trip for awhile, but then Dad had his surgery. He still wanted to go and wanted us to be with family over the holiday. Mom and I love him so much for being such a trooper. Mom got the Expedition all loaded up and we left the Saturday before Thanksgiving, and got there Sunday morning. We did stay in North Platte, NE overnight. I was getting extremely restless after 12 hours in my carseat, and I think mom and dad needed the break too. Once we got there, I had such a great time seeing my Grandma and Grandpa. We got to spend a few days with just them before my aunts, uncles, and cousins got there. I really got spoiled! I even got to see snow for the first time! I know mom enjoyed the break and help, and dad got to watch alot of football and hunting shows. When all my cousins got there the house got pretty noisy, but Izabella and Anna were always looking out for me!

It was real hard to leave on Sunday. We got on the road at 3 and two hours later we had to pull over to stay in a hotel because of the icy interstate. We got on the road Monday and drove for a long time and then stayed in Liberal, Kansas (just on the Oklahoma border). We only had 6 hours for home! On Tues, Dad decided he wanted to drive and after 3 hours of driving, I heard mom (who was in the way back keeping me entertained) ask dad if we were in Tucumcari, NM yet (which is where you get on the interstate to go to Alb.). He said that we were still in Kansas. Apparently he took a right instead of a left when we left the hotel and went 3 hours the wrong way. Oops! My little ears heard a few words I had never heard before! But we made it home safe and sound. I did such a good job and slept so much and really didn't mind the car ride. Once we got home, there was a rotten odor in the garage. Somehow the breaker had tripped sometime while we were gone and we lost power just in the garage and had a deepfreeze and refrigerator/freezer full of food. I heard even more words that I haven't heard before! Mom says that if we didn't have bad luck we'd have no luck at all. But, we do have alot to be thankful for this year and glad to have our health and family and friends.

Because I went through so many states last week, Mom decided to keep track of all of them that I've been to. She added a state sites map on the bottom of my blog. I wonder where I will go to next?
