Christmas in the Spring

Quick re-cap of Christmas for us...

Christmas Eve we did the usual.  We went to my parents for lunch, church, pancakes, and gifts!  It was a great time with all of our family, and we had a new little one to share the experience with. (My older brother had another son, Chase Aaron, born in July)  Here are some pictures of the highlights!

Christmas Day Mason had some goodies from Santa to explore and play with, and then we had the grandparents (both mine and nick's parents) over for brunch and a few more presents.  This is a new tradition we are hoping to start.  Because my parents do everything Christmas Eve, all of Nick's family except for his parents are in Chicago, and we want Mason to still get to have a special Christmas morning at home, this worked amazingly well!  I really hope we can continue this for years to come.  Pictures from our fabulous Christmas!

The day after Christmas we went to Santa's Wonderland.  Mason had a blast!

Since we are 4 months into the year, and I haven't blogged at all, here are some of the things we have been up to.

Disney World!

I forgot to mention that back over Thanksgiving break we went to Disney.  It was a very quick trip, but we really had a lot of fun!  The plane rides were beyond awful, but the entire time we were there was amazing.  Mason actually flew with Nick's parents early in the day while Nick and I were still at work.  Nick and I were catching an evening flight that had us going to Dallas and catching our plane to Orlando from there.  Well, Dallas sucks!!  They a little ice and delayed our flight for 4 hours.  That meant we missed our connecting flight to Orlando.  We stayed an airport hotel, got to sleep for about 4 hours, and then took the first flight out to Orlando.  Very stressful and I missed my baby!  On the way home, Mason got sick with we still don't really know what.  Between Orlando, to Dallas, to Houston he threw up 12 times and went through all of the clothes I had for him.  We were miserable, and actually missed Thanksgiving because we thought he might have the flu.  However, Disney itself was so great and Mason really loved it and still talks about it.  Here are just a few of the highlights...
