A Tour of New Jersey

Finn and I took a road trip to New Jersey last weekend for my cousin's wedding shower. The ladies allowed him a VIP pass to be the only boy allowed at the all-girls weekend, and let me tell you, he loved every minute! We started our weekend off visiting the Emma family for a night. Finn got all caught up with his friend Charlie, his Aunt Jackie and his Uncle Jersey (Jamie). It was the babies' first sleep over! Charlie even let Finn play with his brand new, unopened toys - Thank you Charlie!

Then, he was spoiled and doted on by all of the Ferry women for the rest of the weekend. He watched the Disney princess video in the car on the way there and back about 100 times. All the while playing with sparkle bracelets and princess dolls with his cousin Mallie in the back seat. By the end of the weekend, my cousin Halle had his hair in ponytails and he was watching figure skating and the red carpet show before the Golden Globes. A successful girls weekend! Here are some pictures from the shower, I'm hoping to get some pics from Aunt Jackie from when we were at her house:

Video and Picture of Finn With His Car

These are from before Christmas, but since we don't have many (if any) videos of Finn on the blog, I thought I'd put it up. He loves driving his little car around the living room and taking his stuffed animals for a ride.

The Stomach Flu: The Christmas Gift That Keeps On Giving

Well, it wasn't the best Christmas this year at the Heffron house. Everyone (and I mean everyone in both the extended Heffron and Chisholm families, and my mom and dad) came down with a stomach virus just in time for the holiday. Finn had it for the two days before Christmas and then I had it on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and then Drew got it the day after Christmas. So, except for a quick stop at Papa and Yaya's house on Christmas Eve (where we infected all of the extended family, Uncle Max, and Grandma Heffron...oops), we were pretty much locked up in our house to "celebrate" on our own. Needless to say, I didn't get very many pictures of Finn. In fact, I have no pictures of him opening his gifts from Santa and never got around to visiting Santa either. At least we were all able to be together and the bug didn't last for more than a few days for each of us. We're also lucky that the Chisholm clan can come to visit at Christmas for almost a week, so we still got some good quality time with them!

Finn got spoiled by his grandparents and aunts and uncles, as expected. Some of his favorites are his tent/tunnel, his new Elmo cell phone, two new sleds, and his remote control car! Here are the pictures I did manage to take.
