The Update!

Alright, so many things have happened since I last posted, and even then I didn't give you all a proper update. So here it is:

Colorado: So we went to Colorado. It was a lot of fun, though crazy. Everyone wanted us somewhere at the same time. Thanksgiving was good. We went to Ray's mom's house for the meal. My mom and two of my sisters joined us as well. I didn't get to do much cooking, just mashed the potatoes, but I still had fun. We played Trivial Pursuit and Sing Star. Emilee had fun with all her family. It was fun watching her with all her family doting on her. We only had one issue while we were out there. It seems Emilee is allergic to wool or something. Whenever she touched something with wool or was touched by someone who had touched wool, she broke out in this horrible rash. I was very worried about her, but she seems to have gotten better. I'm so glad for that.

Flights: Well we left to Colorado on the 13th. Emilee enjoyed the first flight. It was from Hawaii to Travis AFB. It was five hours long and she slept for two hours and played for three. There was another baby that she was enjoying making faces at. On the commercial flight on the 17th, Emilee slept in my lap while I slept as well the entire time. No issue at all. On the way back, there was an empty seat, so Emilee got to sleep the entire flight in her own seat. The flight attendents kept walking by and calling her an angel. As for the last military flight back home, we had to wait four days for it. We arrived at Travis on Friday and didn't get on a flight until Monday morning. But once we were on the flight, Emi slept the entire flight in her car seat. She was just peachy. So I was happy. It's nice that she's so calm about flights. Made our lives that much easier.

Emilee: There was so many things that happened that were funny. Let's see, my mom watched her once, and she put her diaper on backwards which was amusing. Oh and when we were waiting for a MAC flight back home, we went bowling with some of the others waiting for the same flight. They convinced me to give Emilee a pickle. Everyone expected her to make a sour face, but Emilee just went to town on the pickle. She loves them. Ray isn't pleased about that, but I find it amusing.

Christmas: We got a nice gift when we got back home. Awhile ago, I signed us up for a program Sears was holding. It's a wish registry for military families. People donate money to the program and it is evenly distributed to all the gift cards that were sent out. We found out we got accepted and we had a gift card. They do two payments, and the first one got us 100 dollars. We used that money to get a christmas tree with all the trimmings. I am so happy. The tree is only 4.5 feet tall but it's perfect. And I love it. Also, we're planning a Christmas feast at my friend Kim's house. Pretty much we're inviting anyone that would be alone on Christmas to spend it with our group. I'm cooking the feast and it should be fun.

I think that's about it for now. I'm sure I'm forgeting something, but it works for now. So I hope you guys enjoyed the update. =)
