Christmas Party - Victoria Style

Hudson greeting Santa and Mrs. Claus on their way into the party.

Here he is telling them what he wants for Christmas... Buzz Lightyear, Woody and Woody's hat, the rocket ship, a ferrari, and spin-out McQueen.

Craft tables with high school helpers for the little ones.

Major hitting up the craft table.

Christmas Cookies with Grammy!

Caroling...

Hudson's class went to a nursing home and sang Christmas carols. The parents out numbered the people living in the nursing home by about 3 to one. I drove Hudson and two friends from his class. They suggested a stop at Chick-fil-a on the way back to school. I would have done it just because they were so cute but the school would have missed us.

He's standing right in front of the music teacher and very much following her every move.

At the next location he decided to sing to the jam box, where the music was coming from.

I'm trying to explain that he should sing to the people at the nursing home. You can tell by the look that he listened and then decided the jam box thing was more fun.

SNOW

Major and I leaving the grocery store in the SNOW!

The grocery store was similar to a hurricane experience. I went thinking it would be nice to cook some chili. Apparently, I wasn't alone in this thought. I could hardly find a parking spot.

Thanksgiving 2009

Coppell, here we come!

Fun Facts:

1. It takes 5 hours to get from Victoria to Coppell

2. Most of the drive is a two way highway - passing involves NASCAR skills which I have

3. We drive through towns like Hallettsville, Schulenburg, Giddings, LaGrange, Cameron, then WACO

In Coppell

Is there more pretzel?

Count me OUT on that jumping thing!

Hudson "jumping"

He didn't quit. I'll say that for him. The 4 year old girl that went before him was jumping to the second story of the mall and flipping. His performance was a little more low key, shall we say ;)
