Henry Goes to a Christmas Cookie Party!

Henry was invited to a Christmas cookie decorating party with some friends from church.  He was the youngest one there, and really wasn't into the decorating part.  He had a blast playing and trying to keep up with all the big kids though!

He wasn't sure what to do at first.  "You mean, I can eat these?!"

 I don't think he's ever eaten a sugar cookie before.  I kept having to remove the cookie from his mouth so he would stop eating long enough to take a breath.

He picked each of the chocolate pieces off and carefully ate them one by one.

I was just planning on letting him eat one cookie, but he loved it so much I let him eat two.  STU-PID.

He missed his morning nap because we were busy partying. It was cold and rainy, and I knew he was going to take a LOOOONG afternoon nap.  We both put on sweatpants, and settled in for a lazy afternoon.

Just in case you were wondering, when you give an 11-month old 2 sugar cookies, they don't settle in for a lazy afternoon.  He just crawled in circles, talked non-stop, clapped, threw things, and generally did not stop moving.  He did lots of twisting and dancing, especially when Ellen came on.  He loves Ellen.  This child did not take a nap the entire day, and finally crashed about 6:45 that night.  Lesson learned.  Next year we will stop at 1 cookie.
