Last Friday, we drove to Oklahoma City to visit Peter, Nicole, and Annette. Annette has turned 3 years old and she was having a birthday party on Saturday.
This was our first road trip and all I can say is Abigail was a dream passenger! When she was awake, she was cheerful, funny, and entertaining. When she got tired, she just fell asleep without a fuss. We had brought an album called "100 Silly Songs" and we all sang and danced to it as you would imagine a family doing on any comical, stereotypical road trip scenario.
Our visit was the first time Abby and I got to meet Annette. Boy, what a chatty little sweetheart she is! A very out-going personality. It took Abby a little while to really warm up to her environment and show her true self. It was obvious, though, that Abby and Annette got along well, which was heartwarming to see. I really hope that the two of them will have the opportunity to be great friends as they grow up.
Here are some photos from our visit.
