Other than the fact that Micah and Mark were sick with headcolds and fevers, we had a great time at Mimi and Papa's. Other than his usual mealtime struggles, Mason held up quite well for no nap and was in a decently good mood.
Although I didn't take many pictures, I did take a couple of the boys while they were wearing Santa hats - they just looked so cute!
The wagon was a huge hit with Mason, who sat in it for a big part of the day, as you can see in these pictures! He loved it and I'm looking forward to a nice day where we can play with it or go for a walk in it.
While it was a great day, it was also bittersweet because it was the first Christmas without Carolyn. She was definitely missed and the day was a little quieter and less eventful without her. We also missed Papa Riggs, who hasn't been well for quite a while and didn't feel like coming over. The reality is that Papa probably doesn't have much time left here but we have the precious memories of many Christmases and other holidays with him, Carolyn, Nanny, and Granny West. So thankful for those memories!
After we left Mimi and Papa's house, we came home and rested for a little bit but then the kids opened their stockings and their Christmas Eve gift, which is our family tradition. On Christmas Eve they always get new pajamas and a book. This year Maddie got a bonus because her pajamas came with a pair for her American Girl doll as well.
Ready to open their stockings and pajamas
Changed into their pajamas and ready for bed
Maddie and her dolls - they are ready for bed too!
