Santa

Good ol' Santa made his way down from the North Pole to come to the 2nd ward Christmas Party...isn't he a gem? Well, Mason and I didn't even stand in line, we just waited for Cody and Addie while they did. Mace has a little stranger anxiety...so we didn't even attempt. As you will notice from the picture below...he DID make it up onto Santa's lap. After staring at him for 10 minutes and inching closer, Santa finally held out his hands and Mason jumped right in his lap without hesitation! I was shocked. There were a few disgruntled kids who had been patiently waiting in line...but Mason was quick and wouldn't speak. He just sat there with a big grin on his face!

I just HAD to throw this next pic in. Mason is obsessed with my feet and legs when I have pantyhose on and he loves the feel of them. I accidentally left my knee-highs on the fireplace...and this is what out little man did. I'm sure he will NOT thank me for this picture when he is 16!

"Once There Was A Snowman, Snowman, Snowman..."

Well...we got a little snow (now that's an understatement!) this weekend....perfect snowman building conditions. The kids and their dad took full advantage of it. Here are some pics of the creation of our new winter friend!

P.S. Mason didn't actually want to walk in the snow ,he just stood on the freshly plowed driveway and sidewalk and supervised!

Tinsel and Such

Like most of you...we have been doing alot of Christmasing around here. We went to some gosh-forsaken place in the dark to get a tree....but oh, how beautiful it was when we finally got to see it in the light! Cody got the lights up early...despite his small fear of heights, and I got our other decorations up..and my favorite? My mantle. I love Christmas time!

"Oh, Christmas tree! Oh, Christmas tree..."

My mantle...I love it!

Don't they look good? Good job, honey!
