Christmas Eve

Today we celebrated Christmas with my parents and brothers.  We (okay I) were a little (lot) worried when their power went out around lunch time and we were supposed to eat at 3:00.  We (I) paced the floors wondering if Christmas dinner was going to happen, when finally Dad texted me at about 2:40 to let me know the power was back on!  We were all very relieved! 

We got to their house around 3:00, and Mason immediately found his first Christmas present!
He started saying "Cycle, cycle!"  Steven, Terry and Dad took turns trying to show him how to use the pedals.  I think it will take awhile! 

Then, while Mom was making dinner, Mason decided it was time to start opening presents.  We went along with him and did presents before dinner instead of after, like usual.
 Veggie Tales from Grammy and Grandpa
 A stuffed Elmo with a book from G & G
 "I'm the present!"
 Now that's how you unwrap a present! 
 Wheelies from Uncle Adam
 Posing with Mommy (and the new tricycle, of course!)
"CHEESE!!"

We had a lovely Christmas Eve, despite the weather and power outages!  We're so lucky to be able to be together!
