Christmas in July and other 2011 updates



We have spent a lot of time recently reading Simon's blog/baby book from last year.  We realized that we got so busy at the end of the year and during the holidays, that we missed a lot of updates.  The last few months of the year were an eventful time.  We finished off our visit with Grandma Lin and Grandpa Joe, spent a lot of time with family and celebrated the holidays.  2011 was a wonderful year and it is amazing to see how much smaller Simon was just 7-8 months ago.

Happy Thanksgiving!



We took a ride on Santa's El train
Simon loved lighting the candles or "cangas" as he called them for Hanukkah
It helped that he had his Menorah puzzle to do his own candles
