Week 16 was filled with lots of holiday events. On Thursday, we all went to Holidays in Crestwood, which is an event which Aunt Jen is in charge of for the Children's Center for the Visually Impaired (CCVI). The highlights of the event are a gingerbread house contest featuring creations from pastry chefs across the city, carolers, and a living reindeer. Henry did good for most of the time, but then all of a sudden conked out for the night. Take a look at the pics and just try to guess when that happened!

Friday night was Reggie's company Christmas party, so Laura's parents stayed in town to watch after him for the night. The party was great, Reggie actually won a $200 gift card to Quiktrip. That will buy a LOT of taquitos! And what can I say about the background in this picture below. Believe it or not, it is supposed to be a snowman. "Why are there all those random colored circles on it" you say? I don't know, maybe some 5 year olds made it!

| Date night! |
On Saturday morning, we took our guy back to Crestwood for 'Breakfast with Santa'. Henry was able to sit on Santa's lap, get his picture taken, and tell him what he wanted for Christmas. Tops on his list ---- Royals season tickets for his dad (since infants get into the game for free)! Later on Saturday, we went to the 2nd annual Tennessee Dave's Smoke-a-thon. Essentially, four or five guys smoke various meats during the day. Then everyone else comes over in the evening for dinner/football. Henry was a hit with all the ladies as usual! It was either because he is so good looking, or because he smelled of smoked pork!

Developmentally, Henry is still working on rolling over consistently. He is really good at holding his own pacifier, and is grabbing onto things and starting to pull, prompting Laura to ask Reggie to work on securing the picture frames on the wall next to his changing table!

Lo - you look smokin' on date night! I hope when I have a baby I am able to bounce back like you. You really look AMAZING :)
ReplyDeleteI love the pics of Henry with Santa ... What a cutie. Can't wait to see him next week.
Congrats on that gift card, Reg!
Um, you have the most stylin' baby EVER (I'm especially obsessed with his jeans and his shoes)! And, his smile while sitting on Santa's lap - the BEST!
ReplyDeleteNice date night pics - Hollywood style couple for sure :)
