Knowing that we were going to Georgia for Christmas and knowing he was not bringing Mommy a Suburban to haul a bunch of toys, Santa visited Mason a few days early. Mason woke up from his nap (okay, so I dressed him in his Christmas PJs before I put him down for his nap so he would be wearing them in the pictures!) the Thursday before Christmas to find a lot of cool, new toys under the tree.
His "big" Santa present was a Little Tikes Swirlin Sawdust Tool Bench. 
Santa also brought Mr. Potato Head (51 pieces!!!) and some food (100 pieces!!!) for Mason's shopping cart. Mommy's favorite was T.M.X. Elmo . . . I think all of the adults have enjoyed him more than Mason has! I think Mason was a little scared of him at first. He wouldn't get too close and surely wouldn't tickle his tummy. But he is finally warming up to his furry red friend. Mason's favorite toys that day were the Lightening McQueen and Mater vehicles (for those of you who do not have little boys, those are the stars from the movie "Cars").
