Christmas

Our week-long Christmas celebrations began in Kansas City with a fun visit with Uncle Scott, Aunt Adrienne and our dear friend back from Ethiopia, Kim Flowers and ended with a cozy and delicious night at Great Grandma and Grandpa Shamels. In between at home in Bolivar Henry was lively with Christmas spirit uttering "bye-byes" and "book" while waving to everyone and everything. It was such fun watching him open his presents because he truly loves his toys and books. During play time he concentrates on each toy, pointing to different shapes and parts. When it is time to read, he listens carefully while pointing to the different pictures. He is really into pointing. And, for Christmas Henry really did get his two front teeth! We now have four pearly whites visible with a smile.

The toys are such fun, and the food was delicious, but the best part of this special Christmas was just being together with family. It is so nice to set all other things aside and just enjoy being with, thinking about and remembering those we love. And, a special thanks to Scott and Adrienne for having us as guests in their home and to MooMoo and Grandpa for hosting such a special Christmas for Henry, and everyone.
