The silver lining to this whole 'stop real life and work until your fingers bleed' times of year is that I get to look back and remember the holiday.
Thanksgiving for us the last ten or so years has turned out to be a family reunion of the Murphy side. We didn't go last year as I was a week and a half away from my due date and didn't want to take the 8 hour trip. This year of course we went because most of my family, aunts and uncles and cousins, had never met Addison. It was somewhat crazy to think about but I was so very excited for them all to meet my daughter. We took the day to drive up which really wasn't bad, we borrowed a portable dvd which was a lifesaver. Elmo's Christmas adventure played three times I believe, I was a little down with the Alicia Keys and Elmo duet but it kept her content. When we got there Kara met us at the door and it was so nice for her to see my banana covered messy baby.
Shortly after we arrived and got settled our little lady had seemed to have enough of the sitting in the car and started walking all around. It was a switch, she had just had enough sitting and the whole time we were there she was perfecting her walking.
