Oh, Henry!

Saturday morning I took Henry to breakfast with Santa at another local church in town. It was so much fun and super festive. Henry was SO excited about seeing Santa. He talked about Santa the whole way there and ran to the line when we got there. He tried to climb on stage and cut in line to get to Santa. Once we got up to Santa this is what happened. Poor little buddy!
My friend Carole was taking the photos and she loved it to so much. She is a sassy grandmother and loves the babies. It was fun.
Then, Sunday morning Ms. Peggy was working the preschool desk as always. She stands up each Sunday and looks over the desk to see how Henry is dressed. She loves our Henry's classic style because she owned the children's clothing store in town for years and respects good style :) Anyway, Peggy then looks at me and says with her sassy self, "I heard about Santa"....News travels fast in J'Town! She tells me that she is in supper club with Carole and she was telling them all about her friend's little Henry and how he cried at the breakfast with Santa. Peggy said she quickly replied, "Are you talking about MY Henry?!" Randall and I laughed on the way to Sunday School at how Henry is loved by all the ladies in town.

Speaking of style, Isn't Henry so festive in his peacoat and raccoon hat....oh, and that big snowman chair...I almost forgot to mention it?! ha. This chair is always in downtown Manilla at Christmas and we pass it each year on the way to see the Lights Over The Delta. The past 2 years he has been to little too put in the chair, but this year we were able to to put him in the big chair for the first time. It was great, cold fun.

After a few Christmas outings this weekend our little buddy was ready to veg at home by the tree with his "monkey" (blanket). He loves the Sesame Street wrapped packages under the tree and I am now starting to question why I thought buying that paper was a good idea! :)

Here's to a festive week!

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good p...

Meet Shaun

This is my single co-worker and church friend, Shaun. He and I have so much fun bantering back and forth. He takes what I dish out and scoops it right back up and hands it back to me. He is a keeper for that and many other reasons, which I will share on this post. He was kind enough to allow me to highlight him on Kelly’s Korner http://www.kellyskornerblog.com/ for her singles link up. His last words to me about this were, “ This better not be an embarrassment! ” I trust I will do my best to make it not be, but I make no promises! The first thing you need to know about Shaun is that he loves Jesus and the Boston Red Sox . He asked Jesus into his heart at age 8 and is still seeking and serving him today at age 26. Shaun graduated from Arkansas State University with a degree in digital media and design. When he is not busy creating masterpieces for our customers he is hiking, watching the Red Sox , playing basketball, horsing around at the lake or beach, and watching movies. He is fu...
