Week Seventeen

This week Isaac got to enjoy some serious holiday cheer by attending two holiday parties, meeting Santa, and celebrating Hanukah. First, he got dressed up in his finest khakis to hang out at Sequoia for Bill's office holiday party. Since Jamie's work party was the same night, the two boys got to have a few hours of fun bonding time before we all met up at the end of the night.

Isaac also got to spend an afternoon at the Akin Gump Health Section Secretaries' appreciation holiday lunch where he was a great sport and loved being passed around to everyone (including Colleen) before melting down and sleeping soundly through his visit to the office and a tour of the daycare facility he will be spending lots of time at soon...

Isaac also got in his first visit to the dentist - although the fact that he has no teeth proved a good enough reason to spare him (also Karen came to the rescue and entertained a relatively unhappy baby while Jamie got her check-up, hopefully it didn't scare her too much since she's DAYS away from delivering her own baby!!)

We did finally finish putting together Isaac's Excersaucer and he has really started to enjoy hanging out in there, almost as much as we enjoy having another place to put him down for playtime!!

Isaac met Santa for the first time at Fragers hardware store and seemed impressed at first(although we could swear we heard him whisper to Santa, "You're not the real Santa, you smell like beef and cheese...")

Finally, we celebrated the first night of Hanukah with Isaac and he got to open lots of presents and light candles over Skype with his Grandma, Aunt Jen, and cousins who all sang songs to him and helped him recite the prayers over the Menorah :)

Another great week- we hope everyone has safe travels, Happy Hanukah, a Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year. The next post will have lots of pictures from Christmas in NJ and New Years in St. Thomas!!
