Since our new state of residence isn't exactly known for snow we were starting to feel a little left out. My sister and mom came to the rescue, though.
Meet Frosty...
Mason told Julie that Frosty was cool, but that he would have rather had a spider. Julie and Mom delivered.
Meet Mr. Spider...
Not sure where this came from, but it was pretty funny.
Mason got this ABC Superhero book last Friday, and we have seriously read it at least 30 times. While he is not tired of it, Jonathan and I definitely are. My favorite character is Volcano Man who vomits on villians.and I'll change the channel!
Max is obsessed with remote controls. He thinks he's hit the jackpot when he gets his hands on one (or two) and throws a major fit when you try to take it away. Mason was obsessed with spray bottles and cleaning supplies so Max's obsession is definitely safer.
Max crying because I tried to take the remote away.We left Texas on Christmas morning and went to Oklahoma to celebrate with my family. The boys had a lot of fun opening presents and being the center of attention. While opening presents Mason kept saying, "Where is another one for me?" and unfortunately they just kept coming. Between Jonathan's family and mine, he doesn't need anymore toys for quite awhile. The three things Mason asked Santa for were "rubber bumper cars," bath crayons, and bath paint. He also asked for a toy shaving kit for him and Max. Santa brought those things plus a few more. Max walked around (he started walking while we were in TX) looking at everything with a big smile on his face. The toy he seemed to be drawn to the most, though, was the wagon.
Jonathan had to leave the Monday after Christmas, but the boys and I got to stay for the rest of the week. It was really nice to spend some good time with my family. My brother Josh drove us back to Florida which ended up being quite the trip since Max got sick the night before we left. To top that off, Mason got sick the day after we got home. In the four days that Josh stayed with us, we only left the house once. I told Josh he will probably never want to have kids or come visit us again! Thanks for all of your help, Josh, and thanks to the rest of my family for letting us stay with you and have fun.
Our Christmas vacation started with a trip to Dallas to visit Jonathan's family. It was really nice to be back in the city, but most of all it was wonderful to be back with our family. We had fun hanging out and spending good time together. The kids especially had fun, and Mason even got to spend the night with Amelia one night. Thanks, Catherine and Brad! Also, thank you so much, Jackie and Carroll for letting us invade you house for a week and for taking care of us while we were there. We had such a great time, and I can't wait until we can come see you all again!
Brad and Cat got Carroll a hub cap for his car because he lost his. I have to say it was pretty funny!
