Arrington Vineyard with NanaB & Granddad

NanaB and Granddad (Corey's parents) arrived from Michigan this afternoon. We decided they needed just a little bit more time in the car, so we packed them back up and drove them out to Arrington Vineyard for a picnic complete with Bar-B-Cutie takeout. I know -- SO gourmet. CJ wore a new Michigan State top (a gift from NanaB & Granddad), which was appropriate since she recently started chanting "rah! rah! rah!" (from the MSU fight song) anytime anyone says the word "Michigan".

Charlie Jo danced up a storm.



And we all laughed at her.



CJ loved dancing like this with NanaB.



The Stringer girls!



NanaB tried to teach CJ to say "cheers" and clink glasses before taking a drink. All went well until CJ decided cheers would be much more fun if she thunked her sippy cup down inside NanaB's tumbler of wine.



After we got home and bathed CJ, we opened a present for Baby Peter from Great Granny and Great Grandpa Taylor. It was a gorgeous hand-sewn fleecy blanket (perfect for tummy time!) with dogs all over it. CJ pointed at a dog on it and declared "Connie!" We all laughed, so she proceeded to do it about 35 more times and laughed like a maniac whether we did or not. Nice to know the center-of-attention-seeking-behavior (where in the world did she learn THAT from I wonder?) is starting nice and early...
