We’re heading back home to NM for Christmas so we’re having present-opening sessions with our closest friends before we leave. Mike came over last night and brought with him TONS of presents for Henry. That kid has made out like a bandit so far this year. First, we bought him a big green slide. Then Grandpa bought him a bright red Radio Flyer wagon. And then Mike came over with clothes, a cool truck and a huge bag of balls. What more could a kid ask for??

We took Grandpa out to see the lights of Winterhaven the other night and after walking around he took us out for dessert. Then we went back to his place where we had our own Christmas and opened presents. Grandpa bought Henry the coolest gift ever!! A brand new, bright red Radio Flyer wagon – and a huge teddy bear so it wouldn’t look so big!! He dropped by today and took Henry for a stroll around the neighborhood in his new present. It was great fun!

Henry had been outside playing for about 15 minutes when I heard him whining. I figured he was annoyed with something and just let it go but he persisted and then it turned into all out screaming. So I rushed outside to find him in his swing – BACKWARDS. The straps had been fastened and he couldn’t move because he was stuck. I have NO idea how he got that way  – I’m assuming he buckled himself in so he could swing and then got upset when he couldn’t get out and this was the end result!! Crazy kid!
