Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday

We can't believe it is all over now. We had a very Merry Christmas, followed by a Happy Birthday. Mason had a great time and was spoiled by all of his gifts. He had fun seeing all of this family! We did not eat his cupcake, but woke up the next morning with a stomach bug, so maybe that is why!?? He is feeling better now, THANKFULLY!!! Thanks for giving him such a good first year! He is a lucky boy to have so many people who love and care about him!! Happy New Year!!!

We wish you a Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas!!

We are all doing well, and prepping for Christmas. This week begins the many nights of going to see family and friends before we head to Lynchburg to see the Woodroof/Evers family. This will be the first year that Grandma Joan and Grandpa Steve have Grandbabies to celebrate with and we think it is going to be a lot of fun!!! We hope that everyone has a blessed holiday!

We can't help but dread the fact that as soon as the holidays are over our little guy will be 1!! OH MY! It is hard to believe that this time last year he was not with us yet! Can't wait to celebrate with everyone. GOD BLESS!

Oh and I almost forgot!! Mason saw his 2nd snow fall. His first was when he was 2 months old. We got a total of 14 inches here in Richmond.

Thankful for....

We had a great Thanksgiving and hope you did too. It was nice to be in Lynchburg with family. Mason is doing well. For some reason he has picked up the word Santa?? He did say Mama a few times this weekend, but still will not say it as much as Dada. I cannot believe we are quickly approaching Masons 1st birthday. It was strange to order invitations for my child's birthday!!??

He certainly loves to pull up on things and cruises on all the furniture. Matt and I have to take turns watching.

Trimming up the Tree

Mason had a great time watching us put the tree up. Grandma Joan gave him his first ornament and we let him put it on the tree first. Thank GOODNESS we have a gate. He wants to touch everything on the tree. We have had to move a few things so he can't! :-) We are so excited to head to Lynchburg this weekend and spend Thanksgiving with my family! We hope everyone has a great holiday. I know what Matt and I will be thankful for this year!!! :-)

We had a fun weekend with Grandma Joan, Auntie Sara, and Cousin Olivia. Mason (and Sara) were very good for all the shopping. We also went to dinner with lots of my family on sat while Matt was recovering from a long day of hunting with Papa. Mason did cut a top tooth and the 2nd one is coming down soon. We are looking forward to a fun holiday weekend in Lynchburg.

Can you see my new tooth??

Halloween Photos

Happy Halloween everyone. Mason is doing well. He has learned to pull up on things and does it whenever he can! He is feeling better though not 100% yet. We think he is also cutting his top 2 teeth.

Dada's Birthday

Well, we had a fun weekend. Matt's 30th birthday party. Sorry everyone was not able to join us. We had a good turn out and a lot of fun. I was sorry we did not get to try out the new cornhole boards since it was cold and rainy! :-( Mason had a good time playing with all the kids. I think he thought he was at daycare with so much to play with. The Snead's brought us some cool new toys of Tylers that Mason has loved. We were excited that Mason was able to hang out with all of his Grandparents! Grandma and Grandpa Woodroof made the trip down to be with us!

We followed up the fun weekend with Mason's circumcision surgery on tues. Mason did great, but was in a LOT of pain yesterday. He seems to feel a little better today. Matt and I have been spoiling him rotten since we got home. Keep him in your prayers that things keep getting better!!!

Meeting Miss Olivia

Auntie Laura and Olivia

We had such a GREAT weekend. We had fun hanging out with the new addition Olivia Hunter, or in my family everyone is a Lou, so Olivia Lou. Mason enjoyed meeting her and tried to "happy smack" her a few times. We also went to the pumpkin patch in Piney River, a real pumpkin patch. We took lots of pictures. We think Mason is cutting more teeth. The doctor visit went great. Mason was 21#4oz and 28 3/4inches long. Mason rode to Lynchburg in his new carseat since he out grew his old one. Hope everyone is enjoying this fall weather, cause we sure are!!
