This year for Thanksgiving we went down to visit Ben's sister and her family near Savannah, GA. It's a 4 1/2 hour drive and Lydia was perfectly content on the drive as long as she was watching her "princess videos". In fact, she was SO content that she peed in her carseat ... twice. Needless to say, we arrived damp and smelly and I was a little stressed out, but we had such a great time over the next few days that it was totally worth it! I got practically zero pictures (blame it on the placenta brain) but I did get one of our excursion to Jesup where Ben's bro-in-law was on call all day Friday. We gathered at the place where he stays while he's on call and had some awesome pizza and then we went to a drive-in movie. We saw "Rise of the Guardians". It was pretty cute, but it was cold! Lydia, unluckily, had also started coming down with a cold so she was getting pretty stuffy nosed on the drive home, but she had a BLAST. She and her girl cousins hung out in the back of the suburban while the rest of us watched from the other two cars.
It was so weird having all those cousins around over Thanksgiving because Lydia COMPLETELY ignored me and played with them the whole time. I didn't know what to do with myself because normally I am THE entertainment (until Lydia begs enough for me to put on a movie, that is). It is going to be so much fun for her to have a sister. I'm so excited!!! Eight more weeks!
