Trees and Birthdays

We had quite the busy weekend this weekend. Saturday we all went to Gymboree together; I think Henry really liked having both Mama and Daddy there to show off his skills for. Then he went with Gigi to a holiday festival near her school (where he got the Santa hat). Later we all went out to dinner to celebrate Mike's 30th birthday. Poor Henry fell asleep on the ride to the restaurant and stayed asleep inside the restaurant until I woke him up finally. Sunday we went and got our tree. Even though we just went to a little place down the street from us (literally someone's house where instead of a regular yard, they planted row upon row of Christmas trees), to Henry it was as good as going to a full on tree farm. He walked up and down the rows saying "too big, too small, too big, too small, too tall, too short," etc. Finally we found the ideal tree and Henry got to watch it be cut down just for us. We've spent a lot of time making little paper ornaments and stringing colored pasta to decorate it. Sunday night we went out to dinner at Nostrana (fabulous!) to celebrate Mike's birthday (part 2), followed by cake and ice cream at Gigi's. Henry insisted on serving the ice cream himself. He is so funny...I need to do a better job of writing down the things he says, because he is really saying some hilarious stuff lately.
