Birthday Bashes

This weekend we celebrated Jerry's 35th Birthday! Happy Birthday Jerry!

We started the weekend with a family dinner to one of our favourite pizza places. After dinner, in the bitter cold, we purchased our Christmas tree. Truman had a great time running around trying to find the perfect one. Jerry and I decided that this year we would decorate the tree while Truman was asleep. The next morning I brought Truman down to see the tree, he said "it's big and beautiful" and with hands on his hips he said "Who built this? I like this!".

On Saturday night, we headed out in the winter storm to have dinner with my parents, Pat, Avery and Tina to celebrate both Jerry and Tina's birthday. My dear sister turns 30 on Thursday...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TINA!!! It took poor Pat, Tina and Avery an hour and a half to get to the restaurant. By the time they arrived, Truman was ready to leave, but not before he shared some french fires with his favourite cousin Avery.

Sunday afternoon we went to Jerry's work party to have a second visit with Santa. Truman was very excited running around the building and seeing so many people. Eventually he found some smarties in the cookie making room which put him over the edge. This was one of his first experiences with chocolate...and he kept telling me for the rest of the day how much he liked it! Needless to say, we had a short visit at the party and missed seeing Santa. My dear son had too much fun spinning around and pretending to fall on the floor. I decided it was time for Truman to get home and have a nap. Besides, I was completely worn after chasing him for a few hours.

Monday night Truman and I went to Tina, Pat and Avery's house to celebrate Tina's birthday. We were joined by aunt Misty who loved playing with little Avery. Truman gave Avery about a hundred kisses, and Avery didn't seem to mind at all.
