Holiday Fun at the Berry Christmas!

We had Christmas with my side of the family last wknd. It was a lot of fun - including the 10 inches of snow they got in Indiana! My mom and dad always have a separate party for all of the little cousins... and there are a lot - there are actually three missing from the picture, and 4 more on the way! So next year will be a crazy picture I'm sure! But we always have a lot of fun - especially when the babysitters come and we all go out as adults :)

I caught Henry using his new drill the other day. It was a birthday present from his Aunt Tabby - and not until he saw Anna using the goggles, did he get brave enough to put them on. I walked out into the living room, and there he was hard at work! It was hilarious!

We took time to build a snowman before the snow all melted. We came outside yesterday (when it was 60 here!) and the head had melted away... Henry kept asking "what happened?"
We also went to cut down a christmas tree with Devon and Beth. That was fun and Henry loved watching Uncle Devon use the saw. He talked about it the rest of the day.

Henry was pretty pumped when he woke up to snow on Wednesday morning. Almost as excited as when he saw that daddy was still home b/c school was canceled... He could hardly wait to get outside. We got this snowsuit at a garage sale for $3 this summer - he looks like a large blueberry! We couldn't stop laughing... all the neighbors thought it was great! ;) The snow was wonderful - a great way to start off the month of December!

We spent most of Thanksgiving with Jonathan's family. We had a great time and Henry discovered that he enjoys pies and peppermint bark much more than turkey and mashed potatoes. In b/t dessert, he did find time to help Grandma do some baking and hang out with his uncles watching the Colts and building blocks.


We also pulled out some of our Christmas decorations. The manger is one that 7 of my siblings would recognize. Somehow I was the lucky recipient to take it to my own home - must be I was the one at home when Mom decided she was done with it :) I'm sure it has seen much better days; however, it will be perfect with two little boys since the angels are missing all of their wings and some are missing their arms. But, baby Jesus is still in tact as well as Mary and Joseph and the Shepherd. Henry really enjoys baby Jesus. He took him into the bath with him - which was probably good b/c I have no idea when the last time was that any of these figurines recv'd a washdown!
