I was very much in the Christmas spirit this year! I was so excited to decorate our house for the first time and share some of my Christmas spirit with my son. DIY holiday projects and online shopping were major part of my holiday prep. I usually prefer the hustle and bustle of mall shopping but with the extreme cold temps online was a much better option. Plus it put me ahead of the game. I was happy with my online purchases and I believe my recipients were too. Thank you GAP, Shutterfly and Amazon for having just what I needed to complete my list this year.
Mason loved seeing Christmas trees and saying hohoho when talking about Santa but the whole concept of Christmas and opening presents didn't matter to him. Just because he didn't want to unwrap his gifts didn't mean he didn't love them. This was the year of the kitchen for Mason; complete with play food, pots and pans. I think this is going to be a great addition to the toys he already has; he can cook while I cook (and just maybe he will open the cabinets in his kitchen instead of the ones in mine). Mason received several items from Melissa & Doug (great quality toy brand by the way) his favorite so far being the broom (he is still sweeping away). His other favorite gift this year was a firetruck from Uncle Tony & Aunt Sherri (Matt likes this one too because it is a remote firetruck). Matt and I only got Mason a few small things this year but Santa along with everyone else went above and beyond; we are truly blessed. Watching Mason oooh and ah over the past few days filled my heart with joy. It also shed Christmas cheer among those around us. We certainly are lucky. We hope you had the same magical experience in your house this Christmas.
First off, I LOVE my GAP sweater; haven't taken it off since. Secondly, this is the moment Mason was trying to climb up my leg to get up on the table for his truck. Best Christmas yet!
