Over the River and Through the Woods

. . . to Grandmother's house we go!  For Thanksgiving we made a grand trek to Utah.  It turned out to be quite the week of firsts for Callie:

> Her first time out of the state she was born in.
> Her first time visiting Grandmas' (and Grandpas') houses.
> Her first time sleeping in a pack 'n' play.
> Her first time at an Aggie football game.
> And her first time meeting quite a few adoring family members and friends, like these: (unfortunately we didn't get a photo with every new person she met, but here are those ones we had the camera ready for)


Callie met her Great Grandma Gallagher for the first time.

We had a fun skype session at Grandma Blanchard's house . . .

. . . with Aunt Victoria and cousins Katie and Elisabeth in Virginia.
The older girls were enamored with baby Cal - Katie played
peekaboo and Elisabeth just stared.  And Callie was
actually watching the screen and loving all the attention.

Here she is with Uncle Scott at the Blanchard Thanksgiving feast.

Cousin Emmy was a favorite - Cal loved her!

Great Grandma Elwood wasn't a first-time meeting, but
it was great to see her again.

Here's Callie with Great Grandpa Thornley.

And Great Grandma Thornley.

Four generations.

Cousins Makinna and Macie were super excited to meet
little Callie.
