Christmas 2013

I love Christmas. I remember sneaking into the family room growing up early, early on Christmas morning looking at all the gifts that Santa brought. Well this year my goal was to hope that Mason had a fun Christmas morning. To get things started we would have the smell of fresh baked cinnamon rolls wafting in the air. I want him to come walking down the stairs proudly, in his new jammies, and just smile ear to ear with all the presents under the tree. Run to the tree and try to rip all the gifts open, since they are mostly his anyhow. show him his stocking filled with his favorite candy and just be happy as a clam and just enjoy the day.

Did our Christmas morning start like this…HECK NO! It was awful! The cinnamon rolls, decided they didn't want to rise to the occasion. They took twice as long to make than what I expected. But in the end at 10 or so in the morning they were super yummy and turned out really well.

Mason was cranky. he didn't want to get up in the morning. Coming down the stairs he cried the whole way down and even stopped half way to throw a tantrum. We showed him the tree and all the presents but he just feared and threw them back at the tree. It wasn't until about 9:30, an hour and a half later, that he stopped crying and unwrapped a gift and it was a CAR and he was happy. I handed him the other gift that I knew was the car and he was happy. We then told him to go downstairs with us to see his other gift from Gma and Gpa. He didn't want to at first but when he saw the CARS themed wrapping paper he tore that sucker up and was so excited to see his new Cars Land table with track and everything.

Matt and I spent the night before super gluing the track down, the elves needed little extra help this year and sent a little note to help out! Less than a week later the big pieces that were suspended are off the table and we will have to think of another way to secure the track down safely.

Matt got his new tablet and loves it. he got it about a week and a half early. I got a carpet cleaning vacuum that I hope to use soon as our carpets need to be cleaned. BADLY! I also got a new running top that is for pregnancy and some ear buds. but we really did have a good day after all the crying was done and over with. so happy Christmas to us. I hope next year will be the year that all my wishing and thinking would take place.
