My first road trip...

On Friday, March 4th we packed up the car and the munchkin and took our first trip home to Victoria.  Needless to say, I was nervous about packing everything we needed, the drive there, whether or not she would sleep in a different place, meeting so many new people, etc, etc... but Leighton was a champ!  She slept most of the way there.  Friday night, we went out for Mexican food with our parents and stayed at the Goldmans' house.  On Saturday, several great aunts and cousins came by to meet the little one.  Leighton hammed it up for all of them, and she got a few naps in while she was being snuggled.  Here are some of the new faces she got to see...

Great Aunt Marie

Great Aunt Sandy

 Cousin Laci

 Great Aunt Katherine

 

Great Aunt Susan

 And of course, Great Grandma Hobbs came by to see me again.

Saturday afternoon, we loaded up and headed to my parents' house.  When we got there, my mom was out running errands, so Pops got some good snuggle time with Miss Leighton (Granny tends to hog her).  Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, but Leighton also got to meet Great Aunt Donna, Cousin Shelly and Adyson, Great Uncle Randy, Great Aunt Melissa, and cousins Justin and Andrew.  Mamie and Cousin Sarah came by to see her again too!  On Sunday, we took Leighton to church for the first time.  Here she is ASLEEP dressed and ready to go to church...

NOTE that she woke up five minutes after we got to church thanks to the speaker we were sitting next to and the family who thinks the louder you pray, the better your chances of going to Heaven sitting behind us.  So, little missy started fussing and we spent the rest of the mass in the foyer.  It was nice to get our foot in the door though.  At church, Leighton got to meet her Great Aunt Teresa and cousins David and Abby.  They didn't get enough of her there, so they came over to Granny and Pops' house afterward for some more snuggle time.

 I think David really liked her...

I was so pleased that Leighton slept well both nights and didn't seem to be too out of her element.  It was a great weekend, and this mommy is glad to have our first road trip under our belts.
