Baby's First Christmas


We had a fantastic time celebrating Virginia's first Christmas in Alabama this year and spending time with friends and family.

On Christmas Eve, Wormy attended her very first candlelight service at First United Methodist. She entertained our seatmates by deciding to blow very loud and very wet raspberries during a serious and quiet part of the service. Oh well!

On Christmas Day, the whole Webb clan came over to my parents' home to eat lunch and open gifts. Virginia joined the feast perched high in her high chair and proceeded to hold court. She was in a fantastic mood and happily gnawed on a can of Tab for most of the meal. It didn't take long for her to understand what being a Southerner is! On her next trip, we'll let her try RC cola and moonpies for sure.

Virginia was a little too young to understand the concept of presents - she was most entertained by the wrapping paper they came in and how she could crinkle it. Wrapping paper aside, her favorite Christmas gift was a "Go Baby Go" activity center from Memaw and PaPa. She spent most of the holiday practicing her pulling up and cruising skills on it. Big hit.


I'm happy to report that Virginia behaved quite well for both of the long cross-country flights, so that was a relief - for us and for our neighboring passengers!
