Shoveling Snow

We finally have some decent snow for Mason to play in. Mike was shoveling out the car so we could leave, and Mason loved it when Mike would throw it over his head.

Sledding

I was really excited to take Mason sledding while in Idaho, but there isn't any snow. Mike took him out and pulled him anyway :)

Mason was still happy even when he'd tip over. (He doesn't have much range of motion bundled up like that so he couldn't really reach to hold on)

He ate a popsicle before he went out so that's why his lips are blue in the last one...not because he's freezing.

Christmas

We've been having a great time in Idaho. Mason was much more interested in presents this year, however he still didn't care too much about unwrapping them. He liked to carry the wrapped presents around, and he would get distracted by one toy and wouldn't want to open anything else. Here are a few pics...

(We only opened stocking before church because it was at 9:00 a.m. and opened everything else after, just in case you're wondering why Mason is only partially dressed in the first few)

We are very blessed, and had an awesome Christmas. 

Sleigh Ride

We've been in Idaho for a couple of days now, and we're having a great time. Mason LOVES having kids to play with, and so many people paying attention to him. Yesterday everyone went on a sleigh ride for Rebekah's birthday. Mason really liked the horses.

It finally started snowing today. Hopefully it will snow a lot, and stick around for a few days so we can actually have a white Christmas. We bundled up and got to play in the snow for the first time. He face planted a few times and spent about as much time on the ground as he did on his feet, but he loved it.

Christmas Jacket

Here is Mason wearing his new Christmas jacket. I think he's pretty darn cute.

Early Christmas

Santa dropped off some early presents today. We probably should have waited to open them...but we didn't. Anyway, Mike's mom sent some very nice things (including yummy treats). I only took pics of Mason opening his.

I can't wait for him to wear this cute fleece Kris made. (I'll post another pic with him in it). If Mason would say real words I'm sure he'd say, "thank you grandma and grandpa."
