The day after Christmas we flew to Indiana to visit with Chris's grandfather and have Saiya meet the rest of his family. We usually travel over Thanksgiving, but that didnt work out this year. So, we bundled up well and hopped on the plane for Indiana. We stayed at Chris's grandfather's house and from minute one, Saiya had him wrapped around her little finger! I would scold her for something and he would say "Stop making that little girl cry." Hahaha! It was funny.
There were presents there for her when we arrived, one of which was a sledding-saucer. There was lots of snow, so we took her outside with Chris's cousin and she went sledding for the first time. We even got to try the sled out ourselves! Unfortunately, we only got to go out and play in the snow the first day we were there since the weather got too warm for it to stick around for vey long.
On day two we went to see Tangled at the movie theater. This was the first movie we took Saiya to see a movie and she did great! She loved the movie (which was very cute) and sat through the whole thing. She only got a little restless at the end when she started to complain that she was hungry.
Before the movie, we went to the cemetary so that Chris could visit with his mom and grandma. Saiya picked out flowers for the graves and said hello to them while we were there. It's heartbreaking that she never got to meet either of them. They were both amazing women. It is our hope, though, that she will learn about who they were from us. We miss them very much...
She got to meet many family members and took to everyone (and all the attention) like a fish to water! She did great the whole time we were up there and traveled really well. I love visiting up there and can't wait until later this year when we can go again. Hopefully we will be able to travel around Thanksgiving like we usualy do so that we can visit with more of Chris's family. We really didnt have enough time to see everyone and it was a shame that Saiya could not meet them all.
