Happy Holidays!

This may be our last post for a while, we will be going to Ohio for Christmas! We are very excited, it has been four years since we've gone home for Christmas. We miss our family very much! We've been having fun getting ready for Christmas. Mason loves the tree and the ornaments and is mostly good about leaving them alone. He demanded to play with the train ornaments, so they're a little beat up now, but not too bad. He loves snowmen, and loved a snowman snowglobe. We knew better than to let him play with it, but he usually listens. He smashed it once on the table and Kevin said "No." He promptly smashed it again and it broke. Still, we're enjoying the season and can't wait to see Mason's face when he opens his presents.



Mama and Mason made some crafts, Mason really likes the snowman. He is upset it doesn't have a hat, though. Mama didn't know how to do that one. Mason did well making the crafts, you can tell he's maturing. To look at him you'd never guess he was still not even three, but he still can't ride a tricycle and talks a lot of baby nonsense. Every now and then he says some really funny things. He says "Get booty!" when he wants to play the game where we chase him and then tickle his bottom :)

So happy to hear you will be home for Christmas! Will you have time to visit the Tongols? I remember traveling to Chicago every Christmas for the first years after we moved to Gahanna, we packed up all Santa's goodies. I had to hide them in the car. I always told John and Kelly that Santa would find them at Gramma's house. You will have to start doing that too! I love trains as well, tell Mason, trains are wonderful! I grew up around a lot of trains in Chicago. My dad was the secretary to the president of the Chicago Northwestern railroad in his young days and his dad worked for the railroad for many years. We used to travel by train all the time. Hope to see you!
