Weekly Update

Where to begin? It's been a busy week! Wednesday we went over to our Anna and Connor's house and got to see the lovely Molly in action, holding court over a bunch of lively toddlers. Henry had so much fun singing songs, playing games and doing arts and crafts projects. Then on Thursday, Auntie Joan came over and watched Henry for 4 1/2 hours (!) while I ran around town and got most of my holiday shopping done. The two of them had so much fun making ornaments for the tree that Henry was so proud to show off to me (and later Brett) when I got home. Friday was Gymboree which continues to enthrall Henry to the point that I've caught him numerous times at home saying "hip, hip hooray, it's a Gymboree day!" :) On Saturday he got to double up and go to Gymboree again, this time with Gigi while Brett and I spent the day finishing up our shopping. He also got to go to the mall with Gigi, something he has (somewhat strangely) been asking to do for awhile now. Today we got to go back to the Christmas Tree farm with Bumpa and Gigi to pick out her tree...with Henry dressed up as Santa. Gigi had asked if we still had his Santa costume from last year and we did...and it still fits. Henry asked me to get it out today and then wanted to wear it all afternoon and even over to Cary and Jeff's for dinner tonight. He put the gifts we took over there in a little bag and played Santa!

Phew, it's been a busy week and I think it will continue to be so through the rest of the holiday season. Thank goodness Brett has Thursday and Friday off. We still have a lot of holiday stuff to get done, including a trip down Peacock Lane and a visit to the big man in the red suit ourselves.
