Christmas and New Years

we have been soooo busy that we haven't updated this since cape cod!  sorry.  anyway, we've been busy -- me in school, jack learning lots of new words.  Mostly we've been playing super hero.  I'm batman.  Jack is Hulk.  together, we save the world from bad guys.  We also had an awesome christmas and new years.  Here's a look.  (and I promise to get on my daddy and mommy to post more this year, it being january and new year's resolutions and all that)

henry got to tell santa exactly what he wanted for christmas.  would he get it?

daddy took me and grandma and grandpa to see the tree at his work:

when we decorated our own tree, clothing was optional.

we saw the holiday train show at the bronx botanical gardens.

and baked cookies with mommy.

 stuffing our own stockings

let's take a brief break from christmas to check out these rarely seen wild cats on the prowl

christmas eve:  how handsome with mommy!
