Lots of new experiences

While the cousins and aunt and uncle were the most exciting thing about Christmas, Ben also got to experience lots of new things. At a birthday party he went along to, he got to try out a real piano, which was a thrill. He also got to play with Julien's light saber (unfortunately, Ben now has one of his own, along with a ukelele of his own) and Sebastien's car. He liked the mobile over the changing table (and promptly knocked it down) and he also liked playing with the recline of Ellen's old chair. We can't wait until we can visit Julien and Sebastian (and Adrienne and Rick) again.
