Evie made her first trip up to New Jersey this weekend and experienced many adventures: quality time with Grandma and Pops, meeting Tootsie for the first time, and having a blast at Great Aunt Dellie's Birthday Bash. On Saturday, the family traveled to Morristown to cousin Matt and Kristen's house to celebrate great-aunt Dellie's 70th Birthday, and what a celebration it was! It was a great family reunion with Matt, Kristen and their three boys: Thomas, Jimmy, and Jack; Peter and Maureen and their children Peter and Kathleen, and Bethie with Quintin and Geneveive. Evie also met Uncle Wally, Aunt Karen, Uncle Dave and Aunt Casey for the first time!
Although little Evie slept through much of the ruckus, the rest of the family enjoyed wiffleball, karaoke, and delicious food. Here is a picture of Daddy and Grandma Beanie singing Bruce Springsteen's "Badlands" in true New Jersey fashion. Aunt Dellie was later awarded the Beanie Cup in honor of her birthday.
Finally, Evie got to have fun with her cousin Julianna McDonald (Dave and Casey's) daughter for the first time: the two babies seemed to hit it off as Julianna promised to teach Evie her doublefisting thumbsucking technique. Julianna, at 4.5 months old, is already rolling over and showing great potential as a future wiffleball player by lobbing toys out of her crib.
