Ahhhh, Christmas!

Well another holiday season is closing and it's really been an amazing one. I was giddy with excitement, like a little girl, for Christmas morning this year. Mason, of course, awoke early @ 5:30 am-UGH. SO I laid in bed with him until 6:15 when he climbed over me, out of bed and opened his bedroom door for the first time. Pretty cool, he must have been as excited as me for those presents under the tree. Christmas eve I set up a city rug with a train set on it in the very center of the living room so it was the first thing he'd see when he got up. He screamed "choo, choo!" when he saw it and was engulfed in playing with that for a good 45 minutes when we were begging him to open the rest of his presents. Some were things for him to get excited about, some were boring- like a whole box of shoes I got a good deal on at Nordstrom rack, 5 pairs in 1 box. He did ask me to put them on, but it was 5 seconds before something more interesting caught his eye and he was back to opening presents. He did get a pretty cool pair of rain boots which he wanted to wear for the remainder of his present opening. THen he got the golden gift, a vacuum from Pottery Barn kids- everytime we go in the store he would push it all over the store for at least an hour and cry when he was forced to leave it there. After that, came a shopping cart which Grammy later filled with over 100 pieces of fake food- hehe, it is so cool! I was also excited for Nate's presents. I got him a Burberry watch, it has a square face and a shiny silver finish. It's super nice and he totally didn't expect it. I also got him a mandolin, a bunch of clothes, a few books and a few other fun things. He got me a new cell phone, the Centro- which I LOVE, a beautiful white wool coat (which was too small, dang it!) a couple pairs of jammies and good make-up brushes. It was such an awesome christmas! We saw dad and Aurora Christmas morning, then headed back home so we could start getting dinner ready. It was a nice dinner, but WAY WAY WAY more food than we needed!!! Time for that DIET New Years resolution. My goal is to lose 8 lbs in 3 weeks....because after that I have a NEW new Years resolution...rock-a-bye who???????????
