On Tuesday, Santa paid a visit to Jo's house! He came bearing gifts for everyone! Jo had ordered and personalized red bags for the kids' gift, they are so cute! I was unsure what Zane would think of Santa this year as the last two he's just cried every time we've seen Santa, but he was super excited and actually sat on his lap and talked to him! He told Santa that he wants a blue balloon for Christmas...I think Santa can handle that request! Santa brought Zane some "Kinker Toys" (Tinker Toys) and brought Mason a fun toy to play with. Zane had the best reaction to his present...when he opened the sack he said "What?" Jo said "You got Tinker Toys," and he said "Oh wow, tinker toys. Thank you Santa!"

Thursday was Zane's Christmas party and program at preschool. Matt came home early to go to it. When we arrived, Zane was a little pouty. I asked his teacher what was wrong, and she said he had only slept for 10 minutes that day! He started crying and clinging to us and saying "I want to go home." He wanted nothing to do with the party, treats, or singing with his friends. We went down to listen to the kids sing, but all Zane did was sit on Miss Michelle's lap the whole time! Maybe next year...

We had our first two Christmases this past weekend. Two down...four to go! Friday night we were able to go visit Grandma/pa Beggs. It was their first time meeting Mason. Saturday we had Christmas at Grandma/pa Baker's house. It was the first time most of them had met Mason also. We had a wonderful time together and the boys played so well together! It was actually our first time to meet Tate, and he's 8 months old! We enjoyed eating, playing wii bowling (Sherri kicked our behinds...) and opening lots of great gifts.Matt & Zane playing Mario Kart

On Sunday we had Christmas with Matt's parents. Once again, we were totally spoiled! Zane has been so much fun to watch this Christmas! He gets excited over his presents and has the best reactions! He does have a hard time waiting his turn...we have to divert his attention many times! He is making everything so much fun!Zane giving Matt a "shot" using his new doctor's kit

All of our gifts are now sorted and put away...and we're ready for round 2! Starting Christmas Day, we have one gathering each day until Sunday! Mason will be meeting many new family members over the weekend! We're excited but nervous about how the little guy will handle it all! We hope that everyone has a great Christmas! Remember the reason for the season...and take time from the hustle and bustle to spend time with and enjoy your precious loved ones!

The World According to Zane...
- One day after picking Zane up, his shoes were wet from snow. He was putting his feet on the back of my seat and making them squeak. I asked him to stop because he was making the seat messy and he said "No mom, I'm making it clean and farkly!" (Notice we are having trouble with the "sp" sound).
- We drove through Sonic for a drink the other day. We asked Zane what he would like and he said he wanted "blue ice cream. (a slushie)" Matt told him they didn't have blue, so he wondered if he'd like orange. Zane's response was "Orange is sour...how bout purple?"
