21 weeks

I missed this past Sunday's 21 week birthday because we were visiting family in MN. Matthew's family always holds a big holiday get-together on the Saturday following Christmas and we've not made it to one yet since being married. Of course, we have a little extra incentive this year... Lyssa definitely needed to meet her daddy's family. So we packed up and drove 1156 miles through 7 states to the Cole family Christmas celebration. And what a time we had!
We arrived at Grandma's on Friday night; the next morning we bundled up (it was a frigid 3 degrees and snowing!) and headed to Tim and Tami's where we met aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins, cousins once removed, great aunts and uncles, and of course, her Nana-great. All in all, there were 54 people and Lyssa loved it. She has become quite a social little thing.
The rest of the time we spent visiting Nana-great and Grandma, as well as various others who were around. We had a wonderful time. But we sure are looking forward to being home!!
Lyssa has been an amazing traveler. She plays, talks, sleeps, and wiggles... The only times she cries are at the end of a long day and she's ready to be out of her carseat. Once we arrive at our destination for the day, she is back to her happy, smiling self. We can't believe how lucky we are to have such a sweet little doll.
