Mason loves to read now! I just bought this book for him and he LOVES it. He carries it around the house saying " blue truck." We read this book about 10 times a day....seriously.
This past Saturday was unusually warm weather for January. Dave was away so the kids and I went to Robbins Farm Park. We had heard they had great slides there so we went to check them out and we met Jeffrey there! It was such a nice day and we were at the park forever. So much fun.
I love Christmas in general, but I really love it with kids. They are both at such a great age. Carter has been so excited for Christmas and Santa, but really did not mention presents and what he wanted much at all. I love the innocence of it. I know in the future I will be faced with kids asking for things and circling things in catalogs (or I guess making on-line lists or who knows what in the future) like I remember doing. So I really enjoy not having to deal with too much of the commercialism this year. That being said, both kids must have been good, because they got pretty cool presents!
Christmas morning Carter wanted to see if Santa ate the cookies and if the Reindeer at their food.
Then stockings and presents
Christmas Day we went to Uncle Brian's for dinner. Carter took some toys to bed with him
This Christmas Eve we were fortunate to spend with a lot of friends and family. Nana, Uncle Brian, Aunty Erin, Connor, Alanna, Rylie, Tom, Kate, and Maura all came over. Here are the kids getting ready for their guests. We had a lot of fun eating and playing. Mason's favorite song is Dominic the Donkey and we listened to it about 100 times. The kids made Reindeer food We opened some gifts for the kids from and to Maura and the cousins Finally we put food outside for the Reindeer and left cookies out for Santa Santa came!
