Christmas and Stuff...

Christmas was wonderful this year with Cason! We had a great time last year (more us than him), but this year he started to understand more of what it's about. We told him about Jesus' birthday, he sang "Jingle Bells" for a few weeks (and out of nowhere again the other night), and he was terrified to sit in Santa's lap (I'll have to scan that picture so I can post it - it's a hoot). Don't worry - it wasn't anything a candy cane wouldn't fix 30 seconds afterwards, although I think my mom still feels bad we had to peel him off of her to take the picture.


We've been reorganizing the house to fit all the new presents, sorting through toys to put away the ones he's grown out of (sniff), and just generally getting settled into 2010.


We braved the crowds and took Cason to the aquarium on Sunday. He was overwhelmed with all the fish and sharks! It's such a blessing to see joy and excitement on your child's face as they experience something for the first time. I felt like that annoying parent who always has the video camera out recording their child's every expression, but I really didn't care what anyone else thought. I was thinking how lucky we are that we have Cason, and so many years ahead of us to teach him about life and show him new things. He's at such a fun age right now...and he makes us laugh every day!
