Chrismas Dinner

For Christmas dinner we headed over to my moms house. Max was all cute in his new outfit and had all his new toys to play with. I watched as my mom and Emily prepared the delicious dinner of Vegan lasagna, french bread, a yummy salad, and for the occasion Champagne. After we set the table we opened gifts to each other. We got Emily and Colin a nice Pie plate, my mom a shirt, And nothing for Josh(we saved it for boxing day when Ben and Meggie would be there). My mom gave me a cute brown sweater, Mason a nice shirt, and Max a cute long sleeve striped shirt, a short sleeve airplane shirt and a cool mother goose electronic book. And Emily and Colin got us How to Train Your Dragon on blueray with a yummy brownie mix.

After opening gifts we put Max to bed and ate our wonderful dinner while we talked and just enjoyed being together.

Christmas Morning

On Christmas Morning we woke up with the girls(Savannah & Sienna) all excited and ready to see what Santa had left them. Max of course didn't know what was going on but he was really happy, which I was so glad about considering his horrible night. He had the best reactions to his toys. Mason's family's tradition is to have all the Santa gifts unwrapped in a pile for each kid. And when Max saw his Buzz Lightyear ride on toy he was so happy and excited. It was such a great morning watching the girls open all their gifts and get so excited about things. Max loved all his toys(thank you Grandma and Grandpa) He got spoiled but so did I :).

Masons Mom had made us all matching pajamas that we opened on Christmas eve. So we all had matching pants it was so fun. And the 3 little kids all had matching shirts.

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with Mason's family. It was our little family and all 3 of his siblings. His sister who has 2 girls slept over Christmas Eve, so we all woke up together. I found out how much Max loves animals, he squeals when he pets dubs, Mason's parents dog. And the animals are so cute with him. We also made sugar cookies for Santa.

Poor Max got a cold the day after we got to Utah and he wasn't doing to good on Christmas eve. We went to put him to bed and decided after a little bit he needed some medicine, but because he had so much flem and he got so upset after I put the medicine in his mouth he just threw it all up. It was so sad and I felt so bad for him. So after another dose he kept it down. We decided to let him hang out with us for a bit to make him happy.

We finally all settled in for the night and waited for Santa to come.

Merry (late) Christmas

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!
We had an awesome one spent with family.

And it is so much better having a little baby to share it with.
Max had a perfect 1st Christmas.
{even though he had/still has an annoying cold}

Here is Maximus so excited after opening his new laugh and learn piano,
from Grandma and Grandpa.

More to come...
and Happy Boxing Day!
