Hercule's Christmas Party

Every year Henri is invited to attend the Hercule's Christmas Party. His grandfather worked at Hercules and has been taking his children & now his grandchildren to this event for the past 48 years. Henri enjoyed spending time with his cousins and really liked the Halo Wars Lego set that Santa gave him.

Wintersinger's Tree Farm

We finally got time on Friday to go to Wintersinger's to cut down our Christmas tree (Scotch Pine) and bring it home to decorate. Henri was quick to pick the perfect tree and he was able to cut the tree down with only a little help from Tristan.

Lego Mindstorms

Henri borrowed the Lego mindstorms for the month of December through the Guelph Home School Group. You get everything you need to build and program your own intelligent Lego robot to perform many different functions. After a few days, Henri is still very enthusiastic and now wants to have his own for Christmas or his birthday.

GHG Craft Sale

Henri took part in his first Guelph Home School Group Christmas craft sale. After weeks of preparing the crafts, jams and baked goods he had enough items to fill the 6-foot table. Henri was pleased that he made $62 that evening and was able to barter with some of the sellers to pick up a few Christmas decorations. Thank you to Grandpa, Grandma & Aunt Amy for being the number #1 buyers.

First Snowfall

Henri was thrilled to see to the first snowfall on December 1st. He spent most of the morning with Patrick building a snowman. Unfortunately, it only lasted for a few days.

Santa Claus Parade

On Saturday Henri went to the Santa Claus Parade in Erin followed by the tree lighting & visit by Santa in Hillsburgh. Henri enjoyed watching the parade from in front of Peter's house. It was so warm that it felt a bit strange to be celebrating the Christmas season.

Mother Goose Pantomime

On Saturday we attended our first performance at the Century Church Theatre. This year's Christmas production was the Mother Goose Pantomime which involved plenty of audience participation, music and colourful costumes. Henri was not familiar with the story of the goose who laid the golden eggs - he said after the show he learned a valuable lesson about being happy with you have.
