Another Trip

Before we start talking about our Nebraska trip, first I wanted to show you the picture of Danielle and Leila hanging out 2 weeks ago while I worked on cakes. It was slightly chilly in the house, so Danielle took the opportunity for Leila to wear a cardigan for the first time. And, it just happened to be the one Danielle bought for her. Surprise. :)

They spent their time reading books and eating cereal that day.

Here's a video.

Also, here's a video of some noises that Leila was making in her crib. She was supposed to be napping.

Last Thursday, we left for our roadtrip to Nebraska. It's a 13-hour drive, so we thought we'd drive all night, hoping that Leila would sleep the whole way. We were very blessed to find that that is exactly what happened! She woke up to eat 2 times, and she'd fall right back to sleep after having a bottle. It worked really well and we were very please! Unfortunately, it did leave us exhausted the next day, which was scheduled to be completely full, since the whole family was there to celebrate my Grandma Kracht's 80th birthday, and we were all trying to make the most of our time together.

Here is Leila meeting her Great Grandma Kracht.

Then, we changed clothes and got ready for the family to come over for our first dinner together. Leila had been cooped up in her carseat for 13 hours, so she took advantage of being able to sit and play.

She also enjoyed hanging out with my cousin's son Jorden, who is 3 days older than she is. It was so much fun seeing them together!

It was actually quite cold when we arrived, and there are so many of us that we had to put an additional  table outside, so we got to put Leila's cute cardigan to good use again.

I think he liked her bow. :)
