Henry's creative juices were flowing this afternoon when he experienced his first finger painting session. He had no idea what was coming when I put his fingers in the paint. Not sure what to do, he let me move his fingers to the paper. It took him awhile to try it on his own, but he started to warm up to the idea of getting a little messy to make a pretty picture (of course it was a masterpiece in my eyes).

Ice Show
During our visit to Northern Virginia over the holidays, Todd's parents treated us to a wonderful family outing to the Ice Show at the Gaylord Hotel. Henry went through the extremes during this visit. He was not a big fan of the big coat and the coldness of the ice show, but he was a little boy in heaven running around the hotel and checking out the fountains, toy train, and all the people!
Total strangers were taking pictures and video of this cute little penguin waddling around.
BRRRRRR!

Christmas Day
I'm trying to keep up with my New Years Resolution to update the blog more often so here is a long over due post about Christmas day...
The tent Santa brought is Henry's new favorite place to read books and play hide and seek. I'll say "Where is Henry" and he immediately jumps into the tent and sits patiently as the search begins. Henry has the biggest smile on his face while he sits and waits for me to find him in his secret hiding place.
Henry's first look at the tree Christmas morning
We didn't plan the morning out that well. Of all days, Henry decided to sleep in. I had to wake him up so he had time to open his presents. He didn't really understand he had more than one present to open. Once one was open, he was happy to just play with that one. We had to keep moving him along in order to get to mass on time. We were worried about finding a seat at church, but we quickly realized 9:30 mass is not very popular. I guess most parents were smart and went to the later mass so their children had time open and play with all the fun things Santa brought. At least next year we will be ready!
