Christmas Shenanigans

Henry's first Christmas was as a hodgepodge of family, squeezes and new toys. It all started on the 20th when the Shaw’s loaded the CRV and high-tailed it to OKC. Henry got to meet his cousins from New Mexico and get reacquainted with his cousin, Miranda.

Mommy and daddy let me test out my new rocking horse early.




Next stop – Cushing. The entire Shaw family was reunited for a week of tomfoolery.

Who cares what's in the box, I got paper!


Ho, Ho, Ho, MERRY CHRISTMAS






What do you think it is, cousin Ricky?


Mom, there seems to be a knot here


Hey, Ricky - Do you think anyone will notice that I've surpassed my 6-9 month Santa suit, and that my diaper is sticking out?


We decided to attempt both houses, both days (Christmas Eve and Christmas Day) again in 08. Henry was pooped. We are still working to get him readjusted to the normal routine.

A Christmas morning snooze with Auntie Ann




Thank goodness for our red wagon and warm weather. We spent much of the following afternoons making circles around our Stillwater cul-de-sac. And when the sun wasn’t shining, we made circles around the house.

Feliz Navidad
