Thanksgiving Play Date

Mason had a play date with some of my high school friends and their kids. Mason and Riley built castles while I got to enjoy the babies, Piper and Ella. It was great seeing my friends Meghan, Amy, Melanie, and Jen as well as Meghan's family.

Riley and Mason had different ideas of how to play with the house. Riley put the people inside and Mason put cars inside.

Christmas Pictures 2009

Today we went to have our Christmas pictures done. Not a pleasant experience with a 2 year old. We got some good family pictures but Mason would not take any pictures without mommy or daddy in the picture. We were able to get 1 picture of Mason alone and 1 picture of Mason with Arian.

Arian was a good girl!

This is the only good one of Ari and Mason

Halloween was a busy day. Mason had swimming and then we went visiting. The plan was for Mason to take a late nap so he would be ready for trick or treating... that did not work out. It ended up being fine and we all had fun. Arian went out with her friends and got home after Mason was sleeping so we did not get a picture of them together.

Mason would not nap until we were on our way to trick or treat... He was grumpy at first because we woke him up but once he got the candy he realized it was worth it!

This was a couple days after Halloween. Mason loves his "Pumpkin Pie" jammies!

On Veterans Day Mason spent the day with gramma and papa. They went to Essex to see the trains and have a special visit with Thomas. Thomas was not running but they got to see Thomas in his shed (thanks to papa and his connections). Mason loved Thomas (he calls him Tommy) and all the trains. He even got a piece of Thomas's coal.
