Christmas... Better late than Never!

I am a bit behind in my blogging... but I guess late is better than not at all! We had a fabulous Christmas! This year Mason's wish was for Optimus Prime and Bumble Bee (Transformers)! Lucky for me, McDonald's was giving away Transformers in Happy Meals the month of December. Those babies were stashed and used as stocking stuffers from Santa! Only problem is that Mason is smarter than the average 3 year old and asked me if I got them from McDonalds. I had to re-assure him that I didn't, but that maybe Santa did! Can't fool him! Anyway, the little happy meal toys trumped everything else. There were many presents that remained unopened until after we got home on Christmas morning. Note to self... it is the little things that make him happy! No need to over-do Christmas... he was happy with the $1.50 toys I picked up at Micky D's! Here are some pictures of Christmas Eve and Morning!

Every year, my mom get's matching PJ's for the kids, this year, we spent many, many hours making them! A few days before Christmas, I get a phone call from Mike... "What do you think about matching Pajama's" he asks. I reply, "We already have some for the kids". Mike: "No, for US!" Oh... sure. So after 5 trips to Old Navy and 3 trips to Target we had matching PJ's for the adults too! Mike even helped shop with me! I think that we may have another new tradition!

Couple pics of Mike and I... don't mind the Shrek horns, Mason got Shrek and these lovely numbers came with the DVD, as you will notice, Mike wore them all night!

I was trying to compete with the Shrek horns...

Mike was slightly intoxicated on Christmas Eve, if you couldn't tell!

Attempt at a family photo... for some reason they always turn out like this...
