***Carbondale Trip # 2***

We took our 2nd trip to Carbondale from Turkey Day (which we had a great day on Turkey Day as well and busy too! Of course I forgot my camera too booooo!!!) night until Sunday night to see Aunt Kt and "Uncle" Michael! It was soooo much fun and to be honest, I wish I was still there to be so close to my sister- I miss her so so so much! It was so good seeing her though- and being away as a family too with Mr Eli! Noah, Eli, and I had so much fun together... great bonding time :] Eli was such a good boy too! He love love LOVED Kt and Michael's dog Espy! He actually started saying Dog while we were down there!!!! It was soooo exciting to hear him say it- and so cute too :] He would pull himself up on Espy's dog cage and say "doooog doooog" haha! He also loved lookin out of Aunt Kt's window in her bedroom. Who needs toys when you have windows haha?

My brother went down to Carbondale as well and him and Michael stood in line at Target from 1am to 5am waiting until Target opened to get a TV for my sister. She had to be at work at Macy's at 4am on Black Friday- ouch! I did also get a Christmas present for Michael, Brett, and Zach while we were down there too and now only have 3 people left to shop for and then of course Eli!

Can you believe it is December 1st?? CRAZY! There is even a chance of SNOW this week and next week too- ahhhh! I love how pretty the snow is- but I am not ready for it yet even though I don't have to drive in it this year woot woot! Now if you all know me- you know I go in the ditch every flippin year... but never again will I drive in the Winter with lil Eli in my car too!

To add another update- I'm just sayin that Mr Eli climbed up the steps in our bedroom yesterday all by himself with no help. I was standing at the bottom of the steps and following behind him up but he never had any help and when he got to the top of the stairs he had this big cheesy grin and laughed hahaha! Please stop growing for a bit Eli- you're such a big boy!!!
