Trip home day 1

We left our home in killeen, TX at 4:30 December 17 and arrived in Houston, TX (after a couple stops, at least one wrong turn, and several rubbernecking slow downs) at 8:30. It took a while but we got everything and everyone taken care of and settled in. 

Namely this little pup. We accidentally booked a hotel whose website said no pets allowed (either expedia was mistaken or we forgot to check the ✔️Pets allowed box when we scheduled the reservation).  Luckily our friend katelyn lives in Houston and she took care of violet for us! 

Since we didn't put up a tree, I intend to take all the pictures I would have taken with Sophia's first Christmas tree with all the trees we "borrow" as our own during our travels. Here she is with her first one at the Best Western in Houston, TX.  

P.s. I know Sophia turned 9 months on the 15th and I didn't post any pictures! Truth is I was busy packing! I'll take a good one sometime this trip and make it her "official" 9 month picture.
