Christmas

Christmas this year was so much fun and having Mason made all the difference!

It all started on Friday the 21st. My family celebrated Christmas on December 22nd so our Christmas Eve was on Friday night. We headed over to my parents house that evening and Mason got to open some Christmas jammies that Grandma Jepson made for him. He looked so cute in his Spongebob Squarepants pajama pants!

Also, that night we took some very cute pictures of Mason by the Christmas tree...as you can see we had quite a few bloopers before we got the cutest one!

The next morning we headed back over to my parents house (the 22nd) to have Christmas. Mason tried putting everything in his mouth!!

My parents gave him a new story book, a new sippy cup, a set of 200 foam building blocks, a new hat to match Daddy's, a BYU jacket with matching pants and a stuffed penguin puppet. His Uncle Bob gave him an awesome onesie that goes along with a huge inside joke within our family...I made Mason wear it the rest of the afternoon. He is one spoiled boy!

Payton and Brooklynn were so cute and gave him presents too. He got two new bath toys from them and he already loves sucking the water out of them in the tub!

Brooklynn wrote the gift tag herself. If you look closely she wrote Mason's name in a circle...pretty good for a 3 year old!

After we opened presents Mason passed out for the afternoon!

On Christmas Eve morning we celebrated Christmas with Brad's family. We had breakfast over at his parent's house and exchanged gifts. His parents gave us Elf on a Shelf and they gave Mason a water mat toy.

That afternoon we headed home to get ready for our own little Christmas. I was SO excited to be Santa, even if Mason doesn't know what is going on.

We put Mason's Christmas jammies on and took pictures in front of our tree and they turned out so darn cute (it helps when you have a cute baby)!

The angry face!

His jammies had a hood with little reindeer antlers on them to match his feet!

After we took pictures Mason zonked out for the night!

The next morning Brad and I both woke up early and ended up having to wait until 8:00am for Mason to get up! I never thought I'd be up before my child on Christmas morning!

Santa brought Mason a jumperoo (which was purchased back in October and has been set up in his room since then...LOL) and he loves jumping around in it! 

So tired from all that jumping! (Look at that dimple!)

Mason's favorite present from Mommy & Daddy was a teething bumblebee that vibrates when he bites down on the wing. He threw a fit when I tried to take it away and let him open another present!

All of his loot! (Except for the "Lil Squatch" onesie that is not pictured. I'd say he is one happy boy!

That evening he got such a fun gift from his Great Grandpa & Grandma Bowles! They gave him a cute little house that sings the ABC's, counts to 10, teaches shapes, etc. He already loves it and played with it all day today!

We are so grateful to have so many people that love Mason and made this such a memorable Christmas!
