Santa Baby

Boy oh boy, do we love party season with our baby boy! Julian loves the lights on our "Hanukkah Bush" and on the mantle with our stockings.

Our friends Tom and Claire came to visit. Julian is obsessed with hair and tried his best to pull Tom's.

Our friends Bruce, Katie and Annabel had a party to decorate their tree. Julian reprised his role as Santa. (Even Santa has to get his diaper changed sometimes!)

Julian made his second-ever appearance at Daddy's office, for the FCC Wireless Bureau holiday party - during which he, literally, taught himself to wave. Here he is trying out his new trick on the FCC Chairman himself.

Hanukkah party

We had a lovely Hanukkah party last weekend - party food courtesy of Glo Glo, who came all the way from Philadelphia to make her delicious latkes (and accompaniments.)   Our friends Lauren, Bruce, Katie and little Annabel joined us for a big dinner.

We exchanged presents and had fun all weekend long, topped off by a trip on Sunday to the U.S. Botanical Garden.  We saw their annual holiday train exhibit, themed this year on the "seven wonders of the ancient world."   That's an acorn-based replica of the ancient Mayan site of Tikal, which we visited on our honeymoon, in Guatemala! (The average kiddo there care waaay more that it was Thomas the Train cruising around it.)

First nights of Hanukkah

Here are some photos from the first two nights of Hanukkah last week. Julian loves to look at lights, and loves toys, so it was his kind of holiday!
