Following our whirlwind trip visit to Delaware and D.C., we packed up the car and headed our for the 12 hour drive to Bloomington to enjoy Christmas with the extended Weaver family. The drive itself wasn't too bad, minus an hour long screaming episode from Annie (who could blame her? we really wanted to be out of the car by that point also).
Greeting us over the next week were such wonderful family times that driving in the pouring rain with a screaming infant seemed like a distant nightmare. In particular, with Annie, it was a Christmas of "first", including:
Snuggling with Annie in front of the tree
Putting the star on
Quinn meeting Annie for the first time
which quickly evolved into Annie's first ballroom dance
First Christmas dinner:
Cute outfits galore!
Everyone should have their name embroidered on their bum
Why her wrist tastes so good I'll never know.
And fun times with presents; some of the more photographable moments below:
Frolicking in a handmade sweater from Great Aunt Jean
Exploring, with a little befuddlement, her first musical instrument, a baby banjo, courtesy of the Shafer family
And her father stealing it, a harbinger of things to come...
Dave Weaver gets ear candles...and is also quite befuddled
Grandma Gail showing Annie her "baby's first Christmas" ornament
Petunia assesses whether Annie is friend or foe
Fun bath time
Flying muffin time!
And Annie's first trip to the lake to visit Paul and Suzy's house
