Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a completely relaxing day at home! We lounged, watched movies, rested, snuggled and the boys also opened their presents from GiGi. 

Matt made biscuits from scratch that morning and I made sausage gravy. 

Then, presents came! 

The boys had a blast opening and then playing with all of the things! 
  



  

  



  

GiGi added some new animals to the boys collection so, of course, they needed to pull all of the animals out. :) 

Puzzles came form GiGi, too! 

That evening, Matt, Mason and me put pjs on (Fresh ones 😂) and took Mason on a date to look at lights. We loaded up on snacks, snapped a few pictures and then saw what we could see! 


These guys came along, too. 


Relaxation is a favorite part of our Christmas season! 


Mason Says & Does {24}

"Mason, who made you so handsome?"
"Y'all did!" 😍

One afternoon before nap, I told Mason he had thirty minutes to play. He said, "What!?! But that is only half an hour!!" How does he know this!?

Mason and Mom
"I hope Santa will bring me a present."
"Like what?"
"A sled for the snow"
"It might not snow for Christmas."
Yes it will. Remember we saw it on that movie?"

In an effort to tell me he was still hungry..."Mom, my belly is still flat!"

Mason created a game one afternoon and came to find me: "Mom , Maddox doesn't understand the rules of this!"

To Maddox one day: "Rudolph is a da-da" 😂😂😂

While picking gifts for the angel tree at church: "Get orange Mom. His favorite color is probably orange.  And get a hat, too! He probably needs a hat!"

While watching Rudolph, "Oh no! Rudolph got dead!"
Also while watching..."Dad, when does the movie start?" Matt replied that it had already. "But all they are doing is talking!"

"Your eyes are pretty, Mom. I like your eyelashes. I just like all of you!"

He was concerned when Matt's dad was in the hospital dealing with back pain. "He needs to get an X-ray over him and they can see what the problem is!"

When riding home with Matt one morning, he asked Matt to roll the window down. Matt told him it would be cold. Mason said, "Okay, let me put my sunglasses on." 


"Mom, we should have a farm one day. And when we go out of town, they (our friends who have a farm) can take care of our animals." 😊

"I'm thankful for GiGi." Just completely on a whim one day. 

Making up his own Christmas songs..."Frosty the snowman was singing jingle bells and he had a nose that jings." 😂

"Mom! That is a nice coat." when I put on a jacket I had not worn in a long time. Makes a girl feel good. :) 

"Mom, my dance moves are better than yours." 

When he sneezed, "Bless you myself." 

"I will take my name and throw it in the trash and name myself PopPop." 😂

When discussing dinner one night with Matt's parents and glazed carrots were brought up: "Glazed carrots? I like glazed donuts!" 

Mason didn't want to take a bath because "just my hands are dirty!" 

We saw a reindeer inflatable and Mason said, "Look, Mom, Rudolph!" 
I said, "I don't think that's Rudolph because he has a brown nose." 
"No mom, his father hides his red nose to help him stay safe from the abominable snow monster." 
Well, okay then!

What were you favorite parts of our Louisiana trip, Mason? 
"Playing in the puddles. Playing with the puppies and PawPaw's tight hugs!" 

We had a book to open each day from December 1st-25th and Mason started calling them: The book of the day of the day. :) 

Mason, please move the swords.
"But's it is raining and we need them to fight dragons!" 

I spelled P I N K I P A D and Mason said, "You mean 'pink ipad?'" 😳

When we asked Mason on Christmas what the best part of his day was, he said, "When Grandmom and Granddad came." Man, did that make us all smile!

Christmas Eve Eve

Christmas Eve Eve was such a great day! The guys had some playtime in the yard that morning while Mom and I went to Old Navy searching for a deal! 
  

GiGi got some snuggles when we got back home...

Daddy did, too! 

We usually eat out on Christmas Eve but we went out for Christmas Eve Eve since the next day was Sunday. We also went to church Saturday night. 

Waiting for hamburgers and pie! :) 

Love that sweet tea! 
  

Saturday night, we got dressed and headed to church for the Christmas service. 

We attempted many family selfies so I'm including a few good ones and a few silly ones...





Probably the best one we got...love them so much! 

Or this one! :) 


Pure goofiness....









We made it to church and tried for a few more pictures there! 



Join us, GiGi! 

Love my momma! 

And I love my man! 

What a great day!
