Christmas 2009 - Part I

We made an effort this year to make Christmas really special for Jason. I felt like it was important to do so, since this would be his last solo holiday. We probably went a bit overboard, but I think he really enjoyed all the attention.

Here are some pictures of Jason at his school Christmas program. (Sorry about the quality of some of the pictures, this was before we got our new camera.)

We are not entirely certain what the costume was supposed to be, some sort of elf ears with a Christmas hat, but paired with a lei, since they were singing Mele Kalikimaka. I'm not sure Jason sang a word, but he knew all of the hand movements. This was a vast improvement over last year's performance when he refused to leave his teacher's side and get on the stage.



We made a trip out to the Gaylord Texan for the Ice Show. The theme was the Grinch, so of course Jason loved it, as we love everything Dr. Seuss.



This was an unusually snowy winter for Texas. We were treated to a very snowy Christmas Eve.



We spent Christmas morning at home opening presents and eating monkey bread for breakfast. As you can see, Jason had a lot of fun and really enjoyed his gifts.
