Parties, Parties, Parties!

My sweet girlfriends, Whitney and Katie, had a Big Brother Party for Mason. The guests brought books for Mason and Hudson to share. Then Katie and Whitney had cupcakes, juice and goldfish for the Mommy's and kiddos. It was so much fun! Thanks girls!


Here we are trying to get a good shot of the Mommy's and kids. Not too bad, right?



Then we had snow! Can you believe it? Mason loved getting all bundled up and playing in the snow with Daddy. Scott would throw a snowball at him and he couldn't figure out what happened to it when it hit the ground. We could barely get him to come in after we finally let him go outside to play.



Then we had a Christmas Party with all of our friends from Austin. Amy and Trey had us over for yummy treats, games and just plain 'ol fun!

And finally, Mason had his Christmas party at school on Wednesday. The kids iced and decorated sugar cookies, then ate them of course! Then they had their Christmas program yesterday. It was quite an ordeal for 2-4 year olds to try and hold their attention to do a play.

I hope you all are getting in the Christmas spirit! Merry Christmas!

Breakfast with Santa

I had to get a Christmas tree shot before heading to Breakfast with Santa at Mason's school on Saturday. He loves our tree. He turns the lights on and off for us and examines the ornaments. Scott bought the train to go around the tree and Mason loves that too!


I couldn't believe he actually sat in Santa's lap and smiled. Up until Saturday, he would only wave at Santa or stand in front of him and stare. I was so proud of him for sitting in Santa's lap!

There were even crafts at breakfast. He made a snowman out of Oreo's, marshmellows, and M&M's. He was so proud showing off his masterpiece.

Mason and the girls were getting ready for their delicious breakfast. They had breakfast tacos, fruit and doughnut holes. They all had a great time!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Oh so carefully putting the ornaments on the tree.

Mason and Waverley at the Holiday in the Park night. They ate cookies, drank hot chocolate, looked at the Christmas lights and played. They had a great time!

Mason was so excited to see all of the lights and eat cookies. Maybe he had a little too much sugar!

The cold weather is really helping us get in the Christmas spirit. Mason is really into Christmas this year. He tells about Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus, loves singing Jingle Bells, Frosty the Snowman and Away in a Manger, and loves the Christmas lights. We are going to Breakfast with Santa in the morning, so we will see how he does with Santa. More pictures to come.....

Happy 2nd Birthday, Mason!

About a week late on posting, but Mason celebrated his 2nd birthday last Sunday. He had friends over to play games like Go Fish, Ring Toss, Bean Bag Throw and Bowling with Mickey Mouse and friends. Then he got to blow out the candles and eat cake and ice cream. This was Mason's favorite part of the party by far. The week before his birthday, he told everyone that all he wanted for his birthday was cake and ice cream!

The past two years have flown by. It is hard to believe that our baby is 2. He is so much fun and has a very loving, inquisitive personality. We are so blessed to have Mason as our little boy!
