Mason's First Christmas

Well we are finally done with a whirlwind of a holiday! I think we are all trying to get back on schedule from a fun-filled week!

First of all, our babysitter was off duty the week of Christmas, so Mason got to spend Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at Grammy's house! They had lots of fun together :) On Wednesday, after Randal got off of work, we headed down to Argonia for Christmas Eve with my family. After dinner, we opened presents - the 1st present opened was KU tickets that Kelli had gotten us all for the OSU game on Feb 7th :) Yay Aunt Kelli! All of the other gifts were great too, and Mason got several toys and new outfits. We spent the rest of the evening playing a Seinfeld trivia game that we got Kelli and then woke the next morning to open stockings - Mason got to open his stocking that Gma Sue had made for him. He was a little more alert and excited about things in the morning, since he was tired the night before.

At around 10, the Stephens family started to arrive for our Christmas brunch, which was yummy :) Mason slept for a little while and then got past around as we all played games and had a devotional after we ate. After a couple of hours, it was time for us to leave...

We left Argonia and headed down to Ponca City to visit the Schafers family for a little while. We showed up at the end of lunch to visit with Grandmomma and Papa for a little while before heading out for Edmond.

We arrived in Edmond just in time for a soup supper and then an evening playing games. The rest of the family arrived the next morning and we had a nice, big lunch and got to enjoy a big game of flag football (Mason and I just watched Daddy play!) After football was over, we had our gift exchange and then played a Sequence tournament before we decided to stay the night in OK before heading home the next morning.

We got up early on Saturday morning and left my grandparents house around 7:45. We arrived home and got everything unpacked and I started cooking for Randal's family, who came over that evening around 6. We had a fun gift game and then sat down to eat. After the meal, we opened our gifts to each other. Mason got lots more fun things, including his first guitar and soccer ball and also a passport from Epcot at Disney World. He also got a sweet little rocking chair that I think he really likes :)

After that, we just spent Sunday vegging around the house and recovering from a hectic few days! It was a great first Christmas and we can't wait for next year!!!
