some christmas pictures

First I have to say that you may notice a predominance of Thomas photos lately, vs. Henry photos. That's because Henry has become camera-shy lately and puts his head down, celebrity-like, whenever the camera comes out.

We had a great holiday weekend. Both boys helped me make some cookies:

Daddy came through and helped Santa find the Dog Magic Wand on Christmas eve. It turns out that this thing comes with disks that shoot out through voice activation. Pretty fun for little boys, daddies, and even Grandpas:

We didn't even open ALL the gifts, because we will have another Christmas with Kate when she comes back from her mom's house.

Bill got me a beautiful "mother's necklace" with birthstones for all three children. I got him a "weather monitor" from Brookstone.
