Anyway - we went to Wisconsin this year for Thanksgiving. Olivia last saw snow when she was four months old - so this time was much more fun. They probably had about 8 inches or so on the ground. Early for this time of year, but I loved it!
We never got a good picture of her in her Thanksgiving dress - nor a good family picture. Now that Tgiving is over, she is going to wear this dress every day, so we will have plenty of photo ops.
The flights were only okay. I feel like we are rockstars at flying with Olivia - we've gotten it down to a science. But the actual flight is less than relaxing.
This girl has never sat still in her life. She wont even sit in my lap to read a book before bed. She wont watch movies, play with a phone or an ipad, etc.
So she stands in our laps and walks around, pushes buttons, bangs on seats, gets snacks, plays with toys, etc. - while we are trying to keep her from touching other passengers, pushing the flight attendant call button, or taking the hat off the person in front of us.
I might post a few tips for flying with a little (we only have one - I can't image more!) but the main one: grab a beer before boarding. Takes the edge off. #alcoholic
Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! The Christmas decorations are up (they have been for a few weeks now..). This Christmas PJs are on Olivia (they also have been for a few weeks now). And we are ready for this wonderful month of December!
You're brave! I can't imagine flying with Mason unless we did it at like 2 in the morning lol. We didn't get any good pictures either from Thanksgiving. I'm glad I'm not the only one who puts them in the same outfit to get some. She looks adorable in that little dress. And I'm still digging the pink fox hat.
ReplyDeleteI think 2 am would be the worst - Olivia will not sleep on a plane - haha. Yes I totally re-do outfits for the photo ops - haha. I love her little fox hat too!
DeleteY'all looked like you had so much fun in the snow!! What a fun treat for you visit. Olivia's dress is adorable - that leopard collar is perfection. Sorry she woke you guys up so early this morning... Olive has been getting up between 5-6am all week long. It's about to kill me. You'd think I'd learn to go to bed earlier but nah. I'd love to read your flight tips because traveling with tiny, BUSY toddlers is exhausting. My husband got a drink in flight to help take the edge off :)
ReplyDeleteYour husband is a smart man! Haha. We did have a lot of fun in the snow. Oh Olive! You've gotta let your mama sleep in more than that!!
DeleteSoo much snow!! I'm so jealous!! It looks like it was a hit! Olivia has the best style. Love her turkey day dress! I've only flown twice with both our little guys and the only thing that worked for us was taking the car seats on the plane (a total pain) but it worked.
ReplyDeleteOlivia dresses better than I do - we can thank her grandma's for half of that. We gate checked the seats - so we went through the 'pain' of having them - we just didn't want to pay for another ticket. And Olivia hates being in the car strapped in - and mostly cries during all car rides - I couldn't tell if it would help. But, mostly, the money is what won - haha.
DeleteShe is so stylish! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
