Christmas Eve and Morning

Here we go.. I am finally getting Christmas video and pics posted. Christmas Eve was spent with Eric's family and was so fun and without a doubt mad chaos. With Harper (4), Saylor (almost 3) and Mason (2) there was no way it couldn't have been crazy but we loved every minute of it. We had planned on spending Christmas Day with my family but my dad came down with the flu and now my mom has it so we hope to celebrate with them sometime next week. My apologies for the picture overload.

Christmas Eve morning we celebrated with a HUGE breakfast. The kids LOVE the piano at Mimi and Big Daddy's house.

Playing with Mason's Tag Jr. we let him open early.

This is Eric's Grandma and her semi-new boyfriend Dennis. After decades living alone on her own, she was moved to an assisted living facility in the last year and met Dennis. So sweet! Christmas Eve after Church and a yummy mexican meal the kids listen to the Christmas story.

Ryan reading the Christmas Story and Brooke supplying the background music.

Finally onto the presents! Mason's a fireman.

Can you see the excitement in Harper's face? She LOVED her Belle outfit.

When Mason opened these shoes he put them on and said, "these are my dancin shoes!"

He hugged each gift and before he opened it exclaimed, "I just don't know what it is!!!!

Each present was like a magnificent prize that he just won. It was all very dramatic. I have no idea where he gets that from!

I had nothing to do with these gifts but he hugged me like I did. I gladly accepted his hugs.

Finally he got a piano of his own. He loves it!

Uncle Adam who he now calls "his bubba" got him a Handy Manny guitar. Now Mason can play his own version of the "Ants in your Pants" song.

Right after Mason went to bed (11pm) the snow started to fall.

He woke up and loved seeing his first White Christmas.

We saved a couple of gifts and his stocking for Christmas morning.
Thank goodness Bubba and Big Daddy were around to give Mason some money to fill his new piggy bank.

And now for the live action.
