Three Days of Christmas

Finally, some Christmas pictures!

Our church had a kids Christmas service on the morning of Christmas Eve. Mase lasted about half an hour, which I thought was pretty good! He has been singing "Jingle Bells" ever since.

After church we came home and Mase took a nap while Matt and I packed up our cars. We headed over to Grandma Pete's and Matt let Mason open one of his gifts. A Transformer! The boys looked like this for about a half hour...

Family picture time

Around 8pm, Mason started to wind down... (and wanted to snuggle with his new baby)...

That is, until his Christmas jammies gave him a second wind!

Christmas Day I drove up to Redding to meet Matt at his mom's house. What did he find? His old letterman's jacket. Yep, it still fits. And looks pretty adorable.

Matt absolutely loves Christmas and wanted to play Santa.

Here are Matt and Jon, his brother, being goofy and reenacting our engagement, which I'll save for another post (on THIS blog-- if you want to read that one, send me your email address).

The day after Christmas we had my mom's side of the family over for dinner. Mom got Matt an ice chest... which my brother let Mason crawl into and then pushed him around the house in it. I guess that's better than last year where he carried him around in a paper bag?

Mason got a harmonica, which he has already figured out how to play! Other favorite gifts were a farm set, a fire house, cars and musical instruments (which I may or may not keep out of his reach...)

We were all so amazingly blessed this Christmas and it truly couldn't have been better. We are already looking forward to next year!
