This week we celebrated Henry’s Birthday and part 1 of Christmas. We started with breakfast out for Henry’s Birthday, and then Mom and the kids went to “Winter Wonderland” out on Navy pier and had a blast. Eleanor was excited about a number of rides, and did the “Lighthouse Lift” all by herself :) Henry loved the teacups and the train. Henry concluded his extended birthday celebration with a Skype call and presents from Mimi and Papa, all while eating the remains of his birthday cake. During the week, we had a holiday party at Eleanor’s class and took a visit to see the Santa Train, and then on Saturday we had our first Christmas celebration at home with Uncle B. Both Eleanor and Henry were super excited about opening presents, and Zapa even got into the mix, she especially enjoyed the monkey and crab toys stuffed with catnip.
