Winter Wonderland

brr...

Not a fan of being in the snow

Liked scrapping off the wood



No face plant today! LOL

White Christmas

Mason,


What a showcase of blessings! Today we were blessed with the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, family, and amazingly, snow. The day began at 6:40. That's when you woke up. I think it is a preview for the years to come. After cuddling in bed with Mommy Daddy until 8:00, you two woke me up and we headed down stairs. 
You noticed your present immediately and we stoked. Ran right to it and played in it (big playhouse btw). We opened our stocking stuffers (puzzles) then to open presents (instrument set). Then we headed to the Spinner's (in pajamas of course). 

Have I mentioned you like to eat paper?

Cheese!

 Out of the blue, Pop said, "Jen, look outside." SNOW! The first snow on Christmas in 17 years in Marietta and you get in on your second Christmas! You weren't into unwrapping, you liked pulling the paper out of the bags and eating it (with Sicily, your partner in crime). Before heading to Memaw and Grandaddy's, we let you "play in the snow.

We couldn't stop laughing!

Great time and the Turner's. Presents, cousins, toys, you loved it. Now you LOVED the wrapping paper and their house. You kept playing in it and playing peek-a-boo with Todd using it. When you fell backward and couldn't get up, Todd and Memaw said they heard you say clear as day, "help me." Wow! Then when Aunt Tabby came over, you said, "Tabby." Crazy.

So with all said and pretty much done, I think we got 2 inches of snow! Cool! It was a wonderful day and even though Dad and I are super pooped, we put together ALL of your wonderful gifts tonight, including your treehouse and fire truck. Here are some pictures from last year. Even though I knew you were going to grow up, it is amazing how fast it is going by!

Love you,
Mommy


p.s. I am finally down to only a few nicknames: Babaloo, Peanut, and Mas :)

Holly Jolly Christmas

Last year before church

Mason,


'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, Mommy and Daddy are stirring quiet as a mouse.
We cannot wait for you to find what Santa, Mommy and Daddy, and our families have for you tomorrow. You are learning how to unwrap. Honestly, you like the paper and boxes better than the gifts.
Anywho, we headed to church at 4:00. It was a blessing they did not offer childcare. It was a joy having you with us. You clapped throughout the music then clapped at the end. When Pastor Craig said, "children raise your hand." You raised both (no lie). You were pretty into the service until communion.
Then after a walk around the square. We took so many great pictures before and after dinner that I just couldn't choose.

You look so mischievous...

On the way home, Daddy and I were screaming singing 12 days of Christmas and you made Daddy and I laugh. I think we were on the 7th day and when we sang, "5 golden..." you said, "rings." Another one that caught us off guard. Desserts at our house proceeded and Memaw and Granddaddy have you a present (a tradition that I hope sticks). You enjoyed it (check out that video).


Ready to see your excitement in the morning,
Mommy

Over the river and through the woods

Mason,


Tuesday night we headed to your Great Granny's house to celebrate Christmas early with Grandaddy's family. 

With Granny last Christmas 12/19

You blended right in. Just like at the Spinner's house, you kept up with all the noise and people by talking really loud and running around. You received a few presents but preferred...

the bag instead. It is so nice to have our little Mason back again.


Love, 
Mommy
