I had business this year in Las Vegas so Henry and Natalia came too. Here's Henry enjoying the
new Calgary International terminal's play area.

Henry on the plane with his new backpack that Natalia found him for this trip. He really liked looking
out the window on the plane. This was the first flight that we actually PAID for Henry to fly on.
Full size
Natalia packed quite a few options for Henry to play with while he flew. He spent almost two full
hours with his 'activity bag' and only as we were descending did he ask for a 'show'. I'd call that
a win.

Henry with his new suitcase in the airport in Las Vegas.

Natalia in the lobby of the Palazzo with a giant rooster. It is the year of the rooster in Chinese
years and they definitely decorated for it here.
Full size
Henry with a giant hot dog that he completely destroyed.

Natalia found Carlo's Bake Shop in the Venetian and was quite excited. Henry was excited by sprinkles.
Full size
While I worked every day, Natalia and Henry got to tour the strip. Here Henry found the M and M
Shop and thought it was pretty neat.

At New York, New York, Henry got a pretzel hot dog, which made him happy.

Henry with the Statue of Liberty (in Vegas). He's seen the actual statue of Liberty too, but he was
only 4 months old.

The monorail turned out to be the biggest hit of the trip. There's some good value for you in Vegas!

One restaurant Natalia wanted to try was Carlo V's. Here she is with a lemon chicken dish.

And a delicious cookie from Carlo's Bakery.

Henry at St Mark's Square, or replica thereof in the Venetian.

I don't totally understand the point of this, but Henry thought walking on the letters was fun.
Full size
After running all over the casino hotel (the Palazzo), Henry was pooped and needed a break in the lobby.
He looks like any other Vegas guest here.

Loving hot dogs back at Costco in Calgary.
Henry and Daddy at the Flames game
Full size
Henry got to sit in his own seat for the Flames v the Sharks. Here we are on the train
heading to the game. The C Train continues to be a fun stop for Henry.
Full size
Henry finds the games loud so he still brings his headphones.
Full size
It's instructive to note that Henry devours ice cream, but the Zamboni here held his attention
more than the ice cream did.

Henry and I at the Flames game with our matching signed Giordano jerseys.

My mom bought Henry this bunny ornament for the Christmas tree, where it lasted all of 30 seconds.
Since then, "Cozy Bunny" has entered our life, and my mom even made him a blanket. Here's Henry
in his bed putting 'Cozy Bunny' to bed.

Henry and his new red mitts from Grandma Banda.

Henry playing with his cross-country skis at the Cochrane Ranchehouse.
Full size
Henry thought his poles were more fun than skiing.

Henry LOVED the advent calendar this year. We ever had some withdrawal issues after Christmas day.
Starting the day with chocolate is pretty awesome.
