Mason Daniel Calley: Merry Christmas

Wow, I am way behind...here's our Christmas post!

Every year it is tradition to go to Denver for Christmas, and we always have such a great time!

I think this is the first year that Mason somewhat understood the whole getting presents for Christmas thing. Although, even if he didn't, he still loved opening all of his presents! His favorite presents were his Buzz Light Year and his pillow pet. Of course, then he loved Toy Story, but now it's all about Thomas the Train.

For Christmas Eve, we always have dinner at Aunt Jo's and Uncle C's, which we just love! Well, this year Uncle Kurt taught everyone how to play a harmonica...awesome idea! So, Mason got ahold of Dan's harmonica and just went to town with it! I wish I had had a video camera. It was adorable!

Just like last year, we went to the Butterfly Pavilion...we thought Mason might enjoy it more than he did last year seeing that he is a little older. So, one of the cool things to do at the Pavilion is to hold Rosie, which is a big hairy tarantula! I never would have thought, but Mason actually held this spider in his hands! I got some pictures, but Dan got it on video; so if I remember, I'll have to post it.

As always, we have such a great time in Denver and we love seeing everyone! It is one of our favorite times of the year and we can't wait till next year!

I took a lot of pictures, so I'll do my best to keep it to a minimum...
