Busy

The last week has been a whirlwind.  The boxes hid my tree for a few days,

where is the tree?


but it sure was nice to set up my new craft space and see my fabrics again.

We took a break from unpacking last weekend to go to DC.  Henry loved his first Metro ride,

his first visit to the Smithsonian (Natural History Museum, Oceans exhibit),

and playing on the mall near our Metro stop.

Gift opening was fun but we have to limit the number of gifts so he doesn't get overwhelmed.

Henry never seems to tire of the holiday treats.  He has been begging to decorate Christmas cookies since October.  We bought some gluten free graham crackers and found a few GF treats to stick to the frosting.  He had so much fun that we will do it again this week.

But, first, we have a visit from my brother and niece.  It is so nice to see family in our new home.  It makes it all seem more real.

So, I'll be staying busy until after the new year.  Henry will start school on the 2nd and I'll get a little time to myself.  I look forward to catching up with more blogging friends then. 

I wish you all a Happy New Year!

    I'm glad you're settling into your new home. Did you move for husbands work? What sensible parents, limiting gifts so your son doesn't get overwhelmed. We try to do that too, for our three kids aged 3-9. It's helpful for all children of all ages. Henry looks very happy!
