Busy, busy, busy

December and January are always busy months at our house. I have been trying to think about how I would write my next post. I envisioned this huge post of all the things that have happened since my last post and it slowly became clear to me that my brain was not that big. So, I am going to try to write a few posts over the next few days to get you all caught up. So, this post will be about . . . . .

CHRISTMAS
I think this had to be the best Christmas at our house so far! Apparently, I had been a very good girl this last year. But I won't bore you with stories about me at Christmas because I know you all want to hear about the kids, right? Well, I believe they had a great time too. Mia was a little concerned that she hadn't been good enough until Christmas morning and she decided that she must have been worrying for no reason. We did stay in Wichita this year and although I missed my family in Missouri, it was nice not to have to travel. Randy, Mia and Mason went to Newton Christmas Eve Day (I wasn't feeling well - I think I was still recovering from all the traveling at Thanksgiving! It is not as easy as it use to be now that we have to take all Mason's feeding supplies and medications.) They had a great time! We did go to Randy's parents on Christmas day and had a great meal. Thank you, Mamma!

Christmas morning, Mason was the first to get up which surprised me because I expected Mia to wake us up in the wee hours of the morning. We woke Mia up and the festivities began. Mia was ecstatic at all the presents and Mason just seemed overwhelmed. Stockings first!
Mia is still half asleep but happy none the less. Mason is watching Mickey Mouse and has no clue what is going on!
Ahh, we are finally awake now!

What did Santa bring in those stockings? Candy and . . .

and toothbrushes! That Santa is so smart!

One of Mason's favorite presents from Santa - after he got warmed up!

Mia's favorite presents - Justin Bieber dolls!

Next Post - Mia's Sixth Birthday!
