Henry had a very exciting first Christmas! We never would have imagined that he would see snow on his first Christmas since we were spending it in Dallas, but amazingly we had a BLIZZARD on Christmas eve and woke up to at least 2 inches of snow on the ground Christmas morning. Our neighbors told us that it had not snowed on Christmas in Dallas since 1967.
Henry's Grandma and Grandpa Carlson and Uncle Phil came down to visit us for Christmas this year. We had a great time! Henry received many very nice gifts including lots of toys, books and clothes from Grandma and Grandpa. Our favorite gift he received was a recordable story book, where Grandma and Grandpa had recorded a story to read to him at bedtime. They have been able to "read to him" several times, even though they are far away. :-)
Here are a few pictures:

Taking a nap before all of the excitement
Lounging by the fire
The best Christmas present Mama could have asked for :-)

Christmas morning. I wish I had more pictures, but we video-taped everything so didn't think to take many.
We woke up to a white Christmas!!
Some pictures we took the day after Christmas--the day Henry turned 6 months old!
LOVE this picture of Henry and Daddy in their "paddy caps"
Merry Christmas to all...and to all a good night.
