Sunny Days: Mexico, MO Weekend Wrap Up

We all went to Mexico, MO this past weekend to visit Sunny's grandparents. She did pretty well on the 4 hr drive. However, she was getting fussy the last hour, so Mommy was trying to come up with creative ways to entertain her. She found the Disney Channel on her BlackBerry, so Sunny watched "Mickey Mouse saves Santa". ;-) Of course she loved it and even was making cooing noises while watching! It was like she knew what the story was about.

When we got to Grandma Nana's house, it was 9pm, so we quickly gave Sunny a bath. The only place that was convient to bathe was the kitchen sink! In the pics below, you can see what she thought of the whole ordeal. She was skeptical, but we think she had fun.

Sunny also had fun with her Grandpa Jim. Here is a pic of one of the many conversations they had. This particular one seems to be on the economy and Sunny showed compassion for the tough times people are going through this Christmas.

Here is a pic of Sunny with Nana's sister-in-law who was visiting as well.

IN LOVING MEMORY... The first night we were there, Nana had to break some bad news to me. Nana's beloved cat (Angel) has passed away the day before due to complications in surgery. I was heart broken and shed many tears. Angel was 17 yrs old, so she had been in our family for a great while. We love you Angel and you will be missed!

On a happier note, Nana couldn't wait until Christmas to give our little sunshine a few gifts. Here's some video and pics of Sunny opening up her first Christmas present! Thanks Nana for all the cute outfits and orniments!

Among some cute outfits Sunny recieved was this cute little orniment of baby shoes! You can see Sunny is getting worn out! Mostly because she didn't take her regular naps all weekend, so she was a wee bit tired.

Another gift were these cute little tennis shoes! They are the smallest size baby shoe you can get, but since Sunny has tiny feet, her little toes have a long way to grow in them! These will stay on her feet though since we can tie them.

While we were at Nana's house, Sunny's uncle Joe called from Iraq! This was the first time to hear his voice. You can see in the video below that she was trying to figure out how come this object (phone) in front of her was making noise (Joe). ;-)

We all also went to church on Sunday. The choir sang a medley of Christmas songs and in the video below, you can see Sunny was very interested! She was so interested that she decided she should conduct the choir! See clip below.

Below are some other miscelanious pictures and video from the weekend.
