Utah for Thanksgiving

We were lucky enough to get to go to Utah for Thanksgiving!  I obviously agreed to doing this before having Juliet haha.  For our next child I don't think I would attempt flying across the country with a 3 week old baby.  It was fun nonetheless!

Right before leaving for the airport.  We made sure to bundle her up for the cold weather in Utah.

With all the stress I had about traveling with a newborn, Juliet was a dream to travel with!  She slept the entire way through security until we got on the plane.  I fed her as we took off, and she slept the remainder of the flight!  

Juliet was quite loved on the whole week we were there :)  She is the first grandchild on Chris' side so it was a lot of fun for all of us.

But let's be honest, she was only 3 weeks old.  So she pretty much just slept the whole time and ate A LOT.  I think she was playing catch up from losing all that weight.  She weighed 8 pounds 7 oz before we left, and 12 days later at her first month appointment she weighed 9 pounds 9 oz haha.  My doctor said, I guess if you need to gain weight you go to Utah! 

It was so nice going to Utah to see family and friends.  Chris and I were able to go to dinner in Salt Lake with one of my friends Haleigh and her husband Jorge one night.

I also was able to go down to Orem and catch up with my friends Kelsey and Katie.  It was so much fun because Kelsey had a baby boy about a week before I did!  

We also got to see some of Chris' friends...but sadly didn't get any pictures of that.  

Having a baby made Thanksgiving was extra special this year.  We just felt so grateful and still do feel so grateful for having this baby girl in our lives.

I tried to get some pictures of her in her Thanksgiving outfit...She was not having it.

We may not have gotten out much while we were in Utah, but we sure had a lot of fun with our friends Chris' family and can't wait to go back again sometime soon!
