Wow I feel like I haven't been on here in forever! Well, we made it through the whirlwind holiday time. I feel like it flew by! But I guess when you have 3 different families to visit in a 5 day time period it will seem that way. We drove to Marble Falls, Abilene and back and forth to North Austin 3 times! Oh and on top of that my sweet pea was sick. Poor baby! He had bronchiolitis. Like bronchitis but in a different part of the lungs. We had to do breathing treatments every 6 hours to help him breath better. Which for this Momma was a very scary thing! Oh of course my sweet boy took it like a champ! With the help of Baby Einstein videos of course. He is mesmerized by those things! He has a favorite little grey puppet that he laughs at everyt ime he comes on. It's so cute!! All this aside, we had a great first Christmas as a little family! We all were spoiled this year. However, Mason cleaned up! I don't think there is one toy out there that he didn't get. It was so fun to watch him open his presents. I would start a little piece and in seconds he was tearing into it, banging on the box and trying to get to the toy! He has played with every toy he got and loves them all! And the faces he makes as he tries to figure out what each button or moving part does are hilarious. You would think he was trying to figure out how to build a rocket! He is so serious.... until he figures it out. Then it is on!
We missed Grandma Nita's Christmas in Georgetown because of the kiddo being sick which is a bummer. But I hear it was quite the Party! We made it to Gran's Marble Falls Christmas though and got to watch all the little ones tear into all the goodies! Gran spoiled as usual. And she made me the sweetest quilt! It's a comfort quilt with a border of comfort scriptures that my sweet Pa picked out and it even has a patch of one of his shirts on it! I can't wait to cuddle up in it! The Christmas Eve/Day festivities at my parents house was perfect! MY BROTHER WAS HERE! He lives in Louisiana and does get to come home very often so any time we get with him is always a treat! We went to the candle light service at my parents church and then back to the house for some viddles and family time. Always such a good time!! Had so head home early though. Sweet Pea needed his rest for his first Christmas! Because he was sick, Mason slept in bed with us so we could keep him propped up. And I think Jonathan and I were more excited for him to wake up then he usually is! We immediately went to the living room to start opening our gifts to Mason. Jonathan and I did ours a couple days earlier. When I got my awesome new phone!!! I felt like I was in a dream watching Mason open everything up. I have wanted to be a mommy for so long and to have those special mommy moments. As I sat there watching Mason open and Jonathan video and take pictures I thought my heart would explode! God has blessed me beyond everything I have ever dreamed about! First a husband that loves me and his son with every fiber of his being. And does any and everything to make us happy and well provided for! And then the most perfect son!! This kid makes my world turn! I never knew things could be like this. A love like this is beyond explanation. Every time I look at him I am reminded of how much I love him AND what God's love for us must be like. Well, I don't think I could ever really know but I get a glimpse. OK I better wrap this one up. I could go on and on about all this! To sum it all up, Christmas was amazing ,as expected, and I am once again baffled at the blessings in my life! Until next time....
