Is it Christmas Time Yet?

The first of our three Christmas celebrations started at Nannie and Poppy Snyder's where we celebrated with the Moss/Snyder clan.  Jimmy made some great steaks and we all had a great time watching football, chatting and watching the kids play.  It was so great to hear all the kids giggling and squealing opening their presents.

For the last few weeks, Mason has been asking "Is it Christmas time?!" every morning when he wakes up.  We celebrated our Moss family Christmas a few days early since we were going to be spending Christmas Eve and Christmas with the Gillispie's.  After Mason went to bed, Richard and I were setting up everything for Christmas morning.  Richard was assembling the Radio Flyer big wheel when he noticed a part was missing from the box.  So, off to town he went to try to track down the missing part… at MIDNIGHT before our Christmas morning.  He was on a mission to make sure Mason's Christmas morning was perfect!

Mase was so excited to open his presents!  He cleaned house!  Some of his favorites were a Batman bat cave, a big wheel, a black dragon, a big dump truck, paints, a car roller coaster and a shape-splitter from the Umi Zoomi cartoon that Mom made.  

So fun to see that sweet little face light up on Christmas morning!

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas day at the Gillispie's house in Kimberling City.  Papa Jack made a delicious Mexican dinner on Christmas Eve.  On Christmas day, we were joined by The Halsey's and Uncle Josh and Aunt Paula.  Mason loved opening Christmas presents alongside Jackson. The boys spent all afternoon playing with their new toys.  So much fun to hear the boys giggling and running around.
