Alex and I spontaneously booked a flight last Monday to leave the next day to Mississippi to spend time with family before meeting Chris in MS for Easter. Alex was a trooper on the flights especially since our first flight was canceled that Tuesday a.m. and we had to go home and come back to catch a later flight (thanks again Wendy for helping us to and from the airport!!!). Then, our 2nd flight was delayed about 1.5 hours. On each flight, Alex fell asleep within 5 minutes of take off and woke up when we landed - perfect considering it was her nap time and then bedtime for the flights. We had a great time seeing family. Alex met many cousins, aunts, uncles, and great grandparents for the first time. She is such a happy baby and smiled so much at everyone. As you can see, Alex is so loved! ;)
Alex stood in her carrier until take off. She was so cute looking out the window and sweet by smiling at all the passengers boarding. I really liked having a seat for her as she could sleep snug in her carrier while my hands were free. Without our free vouchers from C's parents, she would have been a lap passenger for sure! :)

Alex with Uncle Craig and cousin Hunter. They were so cute and silly playing with each other especially when Hunter let Alex pull his hair for fun.

Traditionally, all the kids at the Easter family reunion hunt hundreds of eggs. Each kid gets a money egg. Here is Alex finding her first money egg on her first Easter egg hunt. Actually, she liked the fake grass in the basket better than the eggs. :)
Alex had so much fun outside in the grass hunting eggs.

Stopping in rural AR on way home to feed Alex. Yes, that is the bumbo sitting in the passenger seat. ha!
