Henry's 1st Xmas

Yep, it was full of flashing lights, noisy toys with no off switches, lots of food, late nights (past 8 i mean) and tons of people. It was really fun. And, I know Henry enjoyed it b/c he's been buzzing ever since. He can hardly calm down from all of it. He got SO many new toys. We're on a rotation schedule with them now, too many all at once! I think his favorite is the giant blue tube that he can crawl through, the full size train and the spanish speaking maraccas. It's pretty funny to watch him chase the cats through the blue tube. He also really likes the awesome Snail rocking "horse" from the pickle grandparents. It's so adorable (see below). Santa brought him the woodsies which his mom had when she was little. If you know what the woodsies are you should email me b/c I can't find anyone else to date who remembers them. They've been out of production since the mid-late 70's. Santa won it on e-bay. He's pretty e-talented like that.

Our parents all had a portrait of henry painted by our friend Maggie Phillips. She is an awesome artist and the painting is amazing. I couldn't even hold it together when they surprised us with it. I fell apart. It's so perfect.. totally captures his sweet little personality. There's a picture of it below.

Anyways, thanks to our family and friends for such a great holiday. We look forward to 2007 and all that stuff. Here are some pics from the weekend---
