All the Christmas Things



Devin may not remember his first Christmas, but since Florida lacks winter, Brad and I did our best to seek out festive activities to share as a family that helped bring in the Christmas spirit. Naturally most of them were Disney related. Several resorts deck their halls (and lobbies) with boughs of holly, and this year the Osborne Festival of Dancing Lights was at Hollywood Studios for the last time. While it may have all been a bit intense for our little big guy, he did his best to enjoy it, and humor his parents.

Some of our pictures were taken specifically with Christmas cards in mind, but since that never happened, we'll just appreciate that Devin's first Christmas was very well documented.

One of the highlights was going to meet Santa Claus. Initially I wasn't planning on it, but I saw my niece and nephew on Santa's lap and decided maybe it was worth it. We decided on meeting Santa at the EPCOT American Pavilion, and caught an amazing moment of Devin and Santa taking a snooze together. Priceless. Once again, Disney found a way to do it right.

Another highlight was the Osborne lights. Brad and I have spent a LOT of time at Disney, but neither of us have every seen the Hollywood Studios display. It was so fun to share it together and to have Devin there with us.
