For the Journey


Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So today is my new favorite day. ~A.A. Milne

Mason and Hannah Kate sure made our Christmas a lot of fun. Children are such a blessing and such a wonder. Below is a glimpse of our family Christmas . . . but pictures truly can not capture the joy of so many moments.

One thing is for sure . . . Santa definitely left his mark this year!

Mason is absolutely fascinated with firetrucks. For two months, he asked us everyday if he could have a firetruck for Christmas. Well, Santa delivered . . . and so did several other family members and friends. I forgot the exact count, but Mason got at least five firetrucks before Christmas was over with. And he plays with every one of them!
Mason enjoyed riding his tricycle around the house. We moved it outside, but now we are waiting for some warmer weather so he can go outside and ride.
Hannah Kate was still a very sleepy baby at this point, but she did open her eyes for a minute during all of the excitement, and we were able to get a picture of her with her baby doll.

Thanks to so many friends and family, Mason spent at least three hours opening presents. He had a ball! While I'm going to try my best, I may not get thank you notes sent this year. So if I don't, please know that we so appreciate the gifts all of our family and friends bestowed on us.Hannah Kate is posing with her presents . . . a little girl can never have too many baby dolls!I had a hard time getting this picture because by this time, Mason was no longer interested in posing for the camera. But I think you can see it well enough to get the point . . . this was one of Mommy's gifts to Daddy.We went to Grosse Tete for Christmas. When we got there, all of the cousins were unknowingly dressed in Christmas red . . . perfect photo opportunity!

What can I say . . . even more presents!

This picture really doesn't do it justice . . . Mason is absolutely adorable in his new fleece camo!

Bright eyes!
