Byron’s First Christmas Present
| December 21, 2008 | Posted by Angela under Family Stuff |
Our good friends , April and Ruben, are spending their Christmas in New Mexico this year where Ruben’s parents live. It is their son, Byron’s, very first Christmas. They left today so we insisted on giving Byron his Christmas gift before they left. That means we would be giving him his first Christmas present, fun!
We all met up for lunch. We were all ready to see him go crazy with the paper. We got him the cutest little outfit from The Children’s Place. I love that place (even though I have no children). We got him a sweater, pants and matching hat and gloves! We wanted him to be ready for the cold weather in New Mexico. Byron could care less about that. We just wanted to see him tear the paper. It’s funny because we had to start it off for him. He began tearing but as we cheered him on, he decided that he didn’t want to do it anymore. He was more intrigued by the hanging light and the drinks on the table. Children are so funny. The more you tell them to do something, the less they want to do it and the more they want to do something that they aren’t suppose to be doing.
It was still lots of fun and he had no idea what was going on.
Ruben, April, Byron and their 2 dogs took off today for a long road trip to New Mexico. We wish them safe travels!
Give me my present!!
Open it!!
Picture perfect family!!
Charlie Brown Christmas Play
| December 12, 2008 | Posted by Angela under Family Stuff, Local Places & Events |
My brother attends Sunshine Cottage. Sunshine is a school for the deaf located her in San Antonio, Texas. It holds grades from preschool up to 5th grade. Sunshine is unique because they do not teach their children sign language. They have a mainstream program where classes consist of half hearing children and half hearing impaired children.
Sunshine Cottage knows that children with hearing loss can be an active part of the hearing world. We teach children with mild to profound hearing loss to communicate naturally and effectively using intelligible speech and pleasant-sounding voices, without the use of sign language.
Every year, they hold a very impressive themed Christmas Play. It is a grand production that involves every single child in every grade level. This year the theme was Charlie Brown. It was featured on San Antonio Living.Â
Family photo turns into chaos
| December 10, 2008 | Posted by Angela under Family Stuff |
Jason and I wanted to do our first family photo and send it out as holiday cards. We gave the dogs a bath, got them nice sweaters. It was a beautiful sunny day. Perfect photo weather (well, a bit too sunny). But you get my point. Everything was perfect, or at least we thought. For some reason, Sierra (the white dog) got angry at Topaz (the brindle dog). They usually get along but once and while, when Jason and I are around, they get competitive. Topaz is the alpha dog, we have had her the longest and she is the oldest. Sierra, still a puppy, does not understand. I don’t think she understands dog rules in general. Anyhow, the photo did not turn out so perfect, as you can see. However, it is a good photo. Sometimes things don’t go as you please but it’s the captured moment that tells a story you will cherish forever.
Christmas Tree 2008

We purchased a beautiful tree at Lowe’s. You have to search for a good looking tree but they had the best prices. It’s our first year as a married couple so our ornaments are a little scarce. We used LED lights and they came out pretty cool. ‘Tis the season!
