(Jenn)This was our first year having Christmas completely away from family. We definitely missed the traditions we are used to, but it was still a great Christmas for us. We had a rather calm Christmas Eve, just talking about the birth of Jesus with Henry, then singing songs and getting ready for bed. While we were asleep, Santa arrived with a pretty full sleigh!
Really, we were amazed at the stack of gifts we had this year. We're used to only having a few presents under our tree, and then going to visit family and receiving a few more gifts at each house. This year we had EVERYTHING under our tree -- lots of it was sent in packages in the mail! It took 2 full hours to open everything, party because there was so much (thanks everybody!), and partly because Henry wanted to open, play with, or read every gift before moving on to the next one. We had a great Christmas morning.
Apparently Henry was good enough for Santa this year. He ended up getting what he REALLY REALLY wanted -- train tracks! We love this table with the built-in car and train tracks. Henry has already devoted several hours to playing here. Now we just have to figure out where we're going to keep this thing!

Jenn and Ben,
I clicked on your blog to see if you had any new pics and Gavin was sitting on my lap, he was so thrilled to see a picture of Henry's train set. He said "please can I play with him?" So then I let him watch the video of him singing and he said "Henry's silly, I like him." Maybe someday they will get together.
