My sweet court jester and some trains

I was very hesitant to buy this hat for Henry, but I am so glad I did because I think it is precious!  Beau and my brother both think it is a little strange, but Henry looks adorable it in!  Here are some shots of him playing in the backyard when it was really cold outside (then it was 60 the next day).


Here is Molly in her Christmas sweater......


Henry's eyes are turning green like his daddy!


On another note, we went to some random farm a few days ago who have something called 'Trains Lights and Tractors.'  We went with our good friends TNPLH (Liam and Annah) and Henry loved looking at all of the trains on the wall, the moving trains and the train lights.  He was not as interested in the tractors or Santa but it was really fun for him.  Just as a side note we all went to San Jose (7 of us) for a quick dinner and there was a 30-40 minute wait.....who has ever heard of that at a Mexican restaurant?????  Other than that, it was a successful night!!!

Movie madness!

I pulled my Flip video camera out a few days ago because I feel like I am missing some opportunities to video Henry.  He really is hilarious and precious at the same time.  Hope you enjoy the videos!

On this first one, we are getting ready to leave our house and Henry is saying bye to all of the people in the Nativity Scene.....kissing baby Jesus (just listen closely and you can hear it).


Somehow Henry has learned how to count to 10.  Last week he was doing an amazing job, now he skips the number 5 and calls 8, H, but it is pretty cute nonetheless!


In this video, Henry is tickling the school bus in front of him (this is his new favorite thing to do....tickle).


This video of him interacting with the Nativity scene is much better.

Santa Claus is coming to town!

 Santa came to our house to visit Henry and some other sweet boys and girls.....well, we were not sure if Henry would be excited, indifferent or scared to death.  When Santa walked in, Henry got mad and scared at the same time.  I think he was scared of Santa and mad at me for letting some strange looking man in our house.  He started to throw a little tantrum and then ran to me and hugged me TIGHTLY!!!  It was a big difference from last year with Santa!


 This was Henry last year with Santa.....
He seems pretty happy and indifferent!


This is as close to Santa he would get for a while without freaking out.

Finally, I forced him to sit on Santa's lap.....

As the night went on, Henry did warm up a little to Santa, but not enough to get back on his lap with out crying.  These are cute of Santa playing cars and trains with Henry! 



Some of these pictures are on my Christmas card, so I hope you enjoy them twice!!

Better late than never.....

Happy Belated Thanksgiving! We have been going nonstop since the week before Thanksgiving and I am pretty sure that it will continue until after the New Year!  It has been fun and exhausting to say the least!  Here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving weekend....Beau and I had all the family at our house for Thanksgiving lunch and then we went to Sumter for dinner.  Needless to say I ate a ton and have not stopped eating since!

I took a few pictures of Henry playing with the dogs one night.  He LOVES the dogs now.....maybe more than us!  He has finally started calling the dogs (Moyee-Molly and Bee-Sperry)  Who knows where Bee came from???  He is so funny with them.  He loves to steal Molly's ball so she will chase him and knock him down.  He laughs and laughs.  Henry also loves to run his trains all over Sperry and also share his bankey with him.  Sperry does not seem to mind!

This picture snuck in the Thanksgiving ones....YO GABBA GABBA!


Here she comes......


This is a little blurry, but how happy is Henry here????



Thanksgiving day.....


Beau fried a turkey again this year....yummmmm!


I doctored this photo on Picasa....what do you think?  Is it better than the next picture?


The Sumter family!
