Christmas with the Masons

Claire was pretty sad when December 25 was over, but luckily we spread the holiday fun out as much as possible around here and still had several Christmases to go! Saturday the 29th was Christmas Round 2 with the Masons.

We all met up at Mimi and Papa's house for lunch, presents, hanging out, and a very nice dinner together.  It was CRAZY and hectic, but fun!  

We made a rice krispie treat train and the girls had fun decorating (Andy and Tara helped too!) 

Opening gifts was chaotic to say the least.  Claire was having a hard time NOT playing with other peoples new toys....Fielder was typical Fielder......it was just nuts, but so many nice gifts and we are very thankful for everyones generosity!!  Claire got "the biggest giraffe OF ALL" pillow pet from Andy, Tara, and Samara.  She also got a doctor coat, a sled, Lambie (now her all-time favorite toy), ballet clothes, and family fun money!  Fielder got a toy laptop, Inflation Nation $, another toy, and shoes which came earlier in the month.  Rob and I were super excited....we got an ipad!!

How did I manage to not get a picture of the menu or the dining room table or a picture of all of us??  After gifts, mom made a delicious dinner - Mediterranean Shrimp with an orzo salad and green beans.  And we all got to sit down at the same time and relax a little!!  Thank you Masons!
