Christmas Day

Merry Christmas to all our family & friends! Hope Santa was as good to you as he was to us this morning!

Mason woke up around 7am, came out to the living room & the first thing he saw was the Home Depot workstation that Santa had brought him. He absolutely LOVED it :) We had to tear him away from it & show him all the gifts that we needed to open. He seemed to be a little overwhelmed between the workstation, the new train table & all the gifts under the tree but slowly he started to figure it out & then there was no stopping him!

This was the first year that he understood that Christmas morning meant opening up presents! He had a ball picking out presents under the tree & kept asking "is this one for me?" We soon found out that he opens presents like his Mama - S.L.O.W. He would tear a little piece off, set it to the side, then tear another little piece off & repeat.

 

 

 



At times it was painful to watch but there just was no rushing this boy! Gift opening at the Taylor house took almost 2 hours at this rate but we didn't mind. We just enjoyed watching Mase open his gifts & get SO excited over each one.

 

After all our gifts were open it was time to open the Bulldogs gifts. Can't forget the furry kids! Mase helped Millie & Bubba open their gifts of Three Dog Bakery treats & a new toy. It was so cute watching Mase open them up & explain to the dogs what they got :)

Another tradition we do at our house (which we do at my parents house also) is after all the gifts are opened we grab our stockings & open them up all together. This just might be my most favorite thing about Christmas morning!

After all the gifts & stockings were opened up I made breakfast for us & Mase continued to play with all his new toys. Late morning we all got ready for the day & then headed over to Shane's mom's apartment & had a nice Christmas lunch buffet at the facility she lives in & spent some time with her.

After spending the afternoon with Shane's mom we made our way back home & spent the rest of our day assembling toys, playing with toys & putting away toys! Between us, Santa, grandparents, aunts & uncles & our friends this kid was definitely spoiled!

It was a wonderful 1st Christmas spent in our new house & we made some great memories & started some fun new traditions! I am now starting to get sad that the holiday is winding down & coming to an end :(

We hope you all were able to make some amazing memories of your own with your family this holiday season & many blessings to you in the year ahead!
