We decided to do our family Christmas Eve and Christmas celebration before we left for Oklahoma. Since it's our very first Christmas together, we wanted to start traditions of our own. This year was particularly fun as memories were made and Mason was very aware it was PARTY-time!
Of course the night prior, we had to read the classic, "The Night Before Christmas"
And then Mason wrote his letter to Santa and we improvised for the cookies {iced graham crackers anyone?}
He was pretty proud of his creation:
We even let him have a special bedtime and he stayed up until midnight {this was also to help us with the 13-hr drive the next evening!}. But when he awoke, we started with the stockings.
One of his favorite stocking toys was the floating xylophone {yea for the baby boutique Swaddle-I found it and his PJs the day prior!}
Daddy had a stocking with goodies as well, and Ripley even got some treats and a pretty pink collar.
Mason's "Santa gifts" were a new play tent, some cool new froggie wellies, and a new doggie backpack.
And since I forgot to post this earlier, he also received an early gift- the Little People Nativity Set. I told him about baby Jesus, but maybe next year we'll be a little more intersted...he mostly just wanted the Angel to play "Away in a Manger". Super cute set though!
