Sorry for the mini blog hiatus but we've just returned from a whirlwind trip to D.C. for Matt's grandma's 95th birthday celebration. Matt's parents and most of his family live on the East coast (D.C. area and New Jersey) and his aunt and uncle threw Grandma a terrific birthday bash at their home at Lake Anna. Here are some pics from our trip:

Playing Settlers of Catan...our fav!
Now on to the big 95th birthday bash. This wasn't any old birthday party. Matt's Aunt Mae and Uncle Jim hosted a celebration complete with live music, a dance floor, tents, delicious food, etc... Grandma has so many people that love her...over 60 people came to celebrate the big day! Matt has lots of cousins he doesn't get to see very much. Here are some of the boy cousins catching up:
Caroline on the dance floor with Grammie and her 2nd cousin, Madison (Madison might be her 2nd cousin once removed?? I never know about that...we'll just say 2nd cousin for convenience purposes :-)
Dancing with Aunt Mae
More dancing...
....Caroline L.O.V.E.D the music and danced until she couldn't dance anymore (there's a video at the end of this post).

Getting ready for her first boat ride. Jim had an infant life vest so Matt's cousin, Tim, took us out for a very slow boat ride. I was SO nervous. Caroline hated the life jacket but loved the boat ride...especially the wind in her face! 
Caroline's dancing video:
(her way of "dancing" is she plants her feet and doesn't move the lower half of her body, then she just claps her hands, taps her leg, or tries to snap :-)
