Christmas!

CHRISTMAS! It was such a special holiday since we have a new addition to the family. Christmas Eve we spent time with Malone's family at his sister Holly's house in Sugar City. Her kids performed some songs on the piano and violin. We had dinner and just hung out most of the evening. All the grandkids opened gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Yarger and Papa Bullock. Mason was given a beautiful blessing outfit from Grandma Yarger. It was a white suite with tails, a vest, and a bow tie. It was a little big for him, but looked so cute! She also gave him some jammies to wear. Mason also received a Christmas bell from Papa Bullock, a little momento for his first Christmas to put on the tree. Malone and I received gifts from Holly. She gave me a program to use on the computer to make scrapbook pages. Malone got a drill bit set. Christmas day, Malone and I had Christmas morning at our house and then headed over to my parent's house for the day. We opened presents, played games, and spent a lot of quality time there. Malone gave me a really nice coat, and I gave him some clothes. We got Mason a jungle gym playmat, an outfit, shoes, socks, rings to play with, and some socks that jingle when he kicks.





Mason is still doing really great. He found his fists recently and we can hardly keep them out of his mouth. He smiles a lot more now and coos all the time. He is such a happy boy. His hair is getting longer, and I can tell the new stuff is a lighter blonde color. His eyes are still blue, we think they might stay that way now. Mason is getting really good at tracking things with his eyes and when something catches his attention, he really focuses on it. This past Sunday we had the opportunity to have Mason blessed in our ward. Many members of both sides of our family came as well as some friends. It was so nice to be with family we haven't seen in a while! Especially since Malone and I are leaving next month, this might be the last time we all get together for a long time.
