Long Overdue Christmas Post

Christmas celebrations started for us with Kason's program (breakfast and music class) at his school. It was fun to watch him interacting with the other kids. He loves school and tells us all the time about his friends, so it was great to get to be a part of it for a couple of hours. We started with breakfast and then went to their music and exercise class where they had been working on some Christmas songs. Kason got really upset on his way across the hall to the class because he thought we left and weren't going to watch him. He cheered up when he realized we were still there, but still refused to participate in the exercises. The music got him going again, though. They sang and danced to, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" and "Jingle Bells", along with their regular music class songs.

The weekend before Christmas, we took the kids to San Antonio to see Grandma since we wouldn't be celebrating Christmas there. It was not really a Christmas trip, but we did get to take part in some fun activities - church play, Christmas lights, playing in the leaves, and Santa on the firetruck!

Christmas was lots of fun this year with Kason and Emily both enjoying the festivities (mostly Kason, though). Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were spent here at home with our little family of 4. We enjoyed church service, baking, and pizza on Christmas Eve, along with late hours in Santa's workshop finishing up the kids' play kitchen. Santa was very good to them this year with a new wagon and play kitchen.






New Years' weekend, we traveled to Fort Worth to celebrate a late Christmas with my family. Unfortunately, I think we forgot our camera this weekend, as I cannot locate any pictures. As usual, though, Kason had a BLAST playing with his cousins and opening presents again! Emily got sick pretty much the moment we got there, so we ended up cutting our visit short by a day so we could get home and get some much needed rest in our own beds.

We celebrated Christmas with Kyle's family the week of Emily's birthday, so that post will be coming tomorrow.
