Glendale Glitters

Aunt Brooklyn and Uncle Teddy joined us on our adventure to Glendale Glitters.  We drove to downtown Glendale to check out their Christmas lights display.  Christmas came and went so fast this year that we did not have time to enjoy and look at Christmas lights.  Mason loved all of the glowing lights:)

Brooklyn and Mace have matching footie pajamas!  LOL:)

Bring on the lights!

Mason loving the bright lights!

So cool!!!

Earlier in the day Mace joined me for a pedicure!  He was such a good boy:)

Merry Christmas Mason!!!

I love you Saba, but I am ready for some presents!

Yeah!  Santa came:)

This is just what I wanted!

I am still to small for the bouncy, but it is soooo cool!

Santa was good to us!

Penny loves opening her presents too:)

Check out my football helmet!  I am ready to play:)

Hanging out with my ladies!

Mommy's little guido!  Look out Jersey Shore:)

All I Want for Christmas is My Two Front Teeth!

My Mason has officially cut his first tooth!!!  He is only 15 weeks old!  This explains all of his fussiness lately.  He was crying in the car and I noticed his bottom left tooth poking out at me!!!  My poor baby has been suffering so much lately.  I hope he isn't in as much pain when the rest of them come in. 

This is why I cry Mom!  Check out my first tooth on the bottom left.

We also celebrated Hanukah with my dad last night.  It was fun having everyone over at my dad's house.  We decided to do a dessert party and we made all of our favorite Middle Eastern desserts.  It was delicious!

Thanks for holding me Steven!

Lighting the candles with Saba!

I am so loved!

The newest student at Greenway Middle School:)  He was the best behaved kiddo!

Mommy and me picking out our tree:-)

I love my bear hat!

This weekend we took Mace to find our Christmas tree.  Our little munchkin was such a good boy.  For the last nine years, Marc and I have always picked out a real Christmas tree.  Marc is very particular about the tree we get and it usually takes him FOREVER!  I was pleasantly surprised when Marc agreed to the first tree that we found.  It was perfect!  When we got home, we put on Christmas music and decorated our tree.  It was so great having Mason be a part of this tradition.  He sat in his bouncy chair while Marc and I hung the ornaments.  

On Sunday, we took Mason to church with Momma and Poppa.  They had their Christmas play which we all go to every year.  It was at the Christmas show in 2009 when I decided that I was ready to be a mom.  I started crying when I saw baby Jesus. I must've been extra emotional that day (LOL)!  It was then that I realized that I wanted to have a baby.  Penny came first, and then two years later we got our bundle of joy:-)  Needless to say I was extra emotional again today when baby Jesus came out.  This time I had my little miracle in my arms!  After church, we went to the mall to take pictures with Santa.  This was exciting because I never did this as a kid.  While we waited in line, I fed Mason a bottle to ensure happiness.  LOL!  It kind of worked.  We did not get big smiles, but he did not cry either!  Mason had a picture of Santa on the butt of his pants and Santa Claus laughed at that.  The pictures came out adorable!  I love this time of year!

3 Months Today!!!!

I love my Auntie Jaime!

What are you looking at?

Chilling with my cuz!

I am so over taking pictures!:-)

Now I am happy again!

I love my bouncy chair at Auntie's house!

My little love bug is officially 3 months old today.  I already started packing up boxes of clothes that he can no longer wear.  It was a very sad time:(  I am trying to enjoy each milestone and not dwell on how fast the time is flying by.  I remember the first time he sneezed, took a bath (which he loved), smiled (which still melts my heart), slept through the night (which I thought would never happen), and now he holds his head up in the Bumbo seat.  I love my little munchkin so much even though Mason has been a Mr. Crabby Pants lately because of the teething.  I wish I could take his pain away!  Having my sister watch Mason while I am work has been amazing!  The best part is that she sends me videos and pictures throughout the day.  She sent me a video of Mason holding his own bottle!!!    This makes coming to work so much easier and my students enjoy watching the videos with me.  Mason is very blessed to have such an amazing auntie!  Happy 3 month birthday Mace!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

I love those pants!

Really mom??!!!

Daddy decorated the house with lots of lights:-)

Look at me holding my head up!

All dressed and ready for Christmas!

I think we have an ornament buying problem:-)
