We had a fantastic weekend filled with lots of Christmas cheer. I love the holidays, and Mason is getting old enough to really partake in lots of activities. I love how interested he is in everything, and I especially love that he learned to say "Ho, Ho, Ho" while wearing his Santa hat! Here are of the highlights from our weekend...
Saturday we went to the Festival of Lights at Moody Gardens. It was really crowded, but we had a great time. Mason loved looking at all the lights, so the crowds didn't bother us all that much.
 |
| Mason loves trains so this was his favorite. There was no getting him to look at the camera. |
Sunday the weather here was horrible! It stormed all day so we made the most of our day indoors. (Please excuse our clothes...at home with it raining led to comfy clothes)
 |
| We made cookies from scratch! And, yes, he is eating a cookie while making cookies! |
 |
| He did a great job and was actually pretty into it for a while. |
 |
| Then, we made our Santa cake (pictures to follow). Mason was watching it all get mixed. |
 |
| He decided 'stirring and cooking' water was more fun than actual cooking! |
 |
| Look, Mom, my hands wet! |
 |
| Of course, we had to decorate our cookies! |
 |
| His favorite part! He waited all day for this! |
Re-cap from last weekend...
 |
| I took our Christmas pictures this year... |
 |
| which meant lots of playing with sticks... |
 |
| throwing leaves... |
 |
| and walking in the woods with Daddy! We had a blast! |
 |
| Like always, we chopped down our christmas tree! I didn't get many pictures between trying to contain a toddler in a field of trees and trying to help my husband saw down a tree. |
 |
| I love this kid! Side note: I also just realized he is wearing the same shirt in almost all of these pictures. I promise he has lots of clothes. However, his short sleeve clothing that fits is limited, and we have seriously had no winter this year. His adorable winter clothes are getting wasted, and he is outgrowing all of his summer clothes. |
 |
| They had a fun sleigh to take pictures in. Too bad Mason isn't looking at the camera. |
I'm excited that this is my last week of work, and then I get to be off for 2 weeks with my boy! We have so many more fun things planned, and I just can't seem to get enough of this sweet, adorable boy!
