This past weekend was a busy one! We spent lots of time as a family getting in the holiday spirit! On Saturday we finished up the last of our Christmas shopping downtown and then we took a horse drawn carriage ride around the Old Port. Henry loved riding through the town looking at all the shoppers and lights. Afterwards we went up to Freeport to the LL Bean outdoor stage to see our friends Nance and Greg perform "A Christmas Carol". Nance and Greg run Shoestring Theatre, which is a puppet troupe that does incredible work. It was chilly, but totally worth it! What a fun time Henry had listening to the music and watching the huge puppets float across stage. Sunday we headed down to Newburyport, MA to be with some of Matt's family. Henry had fun watching his cousins romp around and make an amazing gingerbread village. Erin and Killian whipped up an unbelievable brunch and fun was had by all. It was great to see everyone! We also managed to make several batches of Christmas cookies and a homemade wreath (see picture)! This week we are taking it easy getting ready for a big Friday night! We are really looking forward to spending our first Christmas ever in Portland and our first as a family of three. We can't wait to create our own Welch tribe traditions! Enjoy the photos from the weekend.
