{New Years Eve}

Our New Years Eve was very low key. We did a little shopping and then hung out at my parents house for the evening. It was nice and relaxing.

Mason and Tanner {my nephew} played their little hearts out. Nathan, my brother in law and cousin Logan played Madden and us girls hung out and talked. 

Mason played so hard all day without a nap and finally crawled in my lap around 10:15pm and went to sleep. Nathan and I made it to midnight and then went to bed.

We didn't take any pictures of that evening, but here are a few we took before we left the house.

Nathan and Daddy were playing cars and Daddy was making him laugh hysterically!!

{Winter Bucketlist}

- We didn't make it to ICE this year. Maybe next. - After further review I realized that Mason wasn't old enough for a Christmas list this year. - We took lots of pictures, just not any official pics. I think I might just have to hire someone. - We baked cookies, just not for Santa.

{Christmas-time Bucket List}

First of all, let me say that I cannot believe the {very} short season of Fall is over and Christmas is right around the bend. Amazing! 
Anyhoo...we checked many things off our Fall Bucket list. 

Although I'm sad that I wasn't able to check off Family Pictures. 
I had so much fun keeping up with this list that I decided to do a Christmas-time list.

This list makes me incredibly happy!!!
{I had several people email me about the Fall Bucket list, so, if you'd like a copy of the template I made for the Christmas-time list let me know and I will email it to you.}

{Thanksgiving 2012}

Our Thanksgiving{s} were wonderful this year! No stress and all in all a good time. Usually it's hard every year...trying to split your time between all the families. But, this year we got really lucky. We celebrated with my family on Wednesday evening and with Nate's on Thursday. 
I didn't take one single picture on Wednesday night. I regret it now. But when you have over 50 {yes, 50+} people in one house, it's kind of hard. It was a nice night, though. The food was delicious and the company was awesome. There were several little kids around Mason's age that he played with. He had a complete blast and of course was a complete ham!!
 Thursday morning I took Mason outside for a few pictures before he got dirty! We had his clothes starched at the dry cleaners and he looked too incredibly cute. However, he was being a little toot and didn't want to look at the camera. So, I just  have candid shots. But, I still adore them.

  Then we tried to get some pictures of Mason with Daddy...

  After our little photo session we went to Nate's Grandma's house in Grand Prairie for Thanksgiving lunch. The food was delicious and we had a really nice time. Mason was on great behavior too! That always helps...since they pretty much live in a glass house!!! :)
Uncle Jo Jo made Mason a paper hat...

We have so much to be Thankful for. So blessed!

{The Halloween Post}

Mason loved this thing. Wouldn't come out of it!

Mason and the director at his school

We loved that a cop parked in the neighborhood and passed out candy!

Mason's Papa set up this ride for him!

  

I know I am a little late on the Halloween post and some of you are half way on your way to decorating for Christmas, but wanted to get this on the blog! 
Halloween was great this year. We trick or treated in Mason's teacher {and one of my greatest friends} neighborhood. She lives right across the street from Mason's school.  One of the Ferris cops parked in the neighborhood and passed out candy to the kids! Mason loved it.
Mason wasn't scared of any of the masks {even the scary ones} and walked right up and said Trick or Treat to everyone! It was awesome.
We chose a Fireman costume this year because if you ask Mason what he wants to be when he gets bigger he says, "A fireman". Love it!
