What a wonderful Christmas we had! It is so fun to experience Christmas through a child's eye!! Marcus' parents came down to Houston to spend Christmas with us and we had a wonderful time :) Thanks so much for everything!! Now....tick tick tick...anytime we could be welcoming Madelyn into our Family!!!
The gifts were ready to be opened....(yes...I did not decorate my tree to the fullest this year.... with my due date close and I really need a 12ft or bigger tree next year...this tree looked TINY compared to the huge ceilings of our new house)
DD and Daddio came to Houston this year to celebrate with us on Christmas. We were all ready for our Christmas Eve service :)
The cookies were laid out for Santa...
After Mason was down for the night...Daddy and Daddio went to work assembling Mason's Extreme Coaster
Still working.....
All finished...I could not wait to see the look on Mason's face when he saw his BIG TOY Santa brought him :)
Santa left some wrapped gifts under the tree but he also left these few items that he did not wrap :) (except for the scooter...my Aunt Debbie got that for him)
Christmas Morning:
Look at that HUGE grin on that boy's face. We tried to keep him in the game room upstairs to have breakfast before the festivities began, but once he saw that Santa had come...he was down the stairs in a flash!
Checking out some of his loot :)
Yes...that is a microwave...ONE OF HIS FAVORITE toys!
Now time to unwrap all the gifts Santa, Mommy and Daddy and DD and Daddio brought! MICKEY....This was his first gift to open and he just wanted to play with that instead of opening more :) He LOVES LOVES LOVES Mickey :)
Books Books and more Books! This kids LOVES to read :) We shall see how long this lasts...I hope for a long long time.
Madelyn's got some fun gifts too: Burp cloths that are so soft I don't want her to spit up on them and some glittery letters to hang in her room :)
Another fun toy Mason just loves...."Play Butterflies"
Unwrapping the portable DVD player...not to sure what it was!
Some more of Mason's things he received from all of us on Christmas! We still had ONE last thing to give him.....I was so excited to see how he would react...I remember when I was young getting out of bed early, coming down the stairs to see what Santa had left me. It is so fun to see and feel that all over again with Mason.
Practicing on the scooter before we headed out for the last big surprise!
What's That!!?!?!???
He already knew what to do! Yes, we were all still in our PJ's we could not WAIT any longer...well I could not wait any longer to show him his new toy :)
READY......SET......GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And he's off!!!!
The coaster took him as far as the next door neighbors house! The moment the car stopped...Mason JUMPED UP and yelled...AGAIN!!! YES, Marcus was in the street watching and waiting for him as he sped down the driveway :)
Shaving with his new Shaving Kit :)
