Santa

We took Mason to see Santa this past weekend. We've been making the trip about this time every year since he was born so we decided to carry on the tradition. This year Mason was talking the whole way there about getting to see Santa so it was extra fun for all of us. He was more patient waiting in line than we expected and did a great job on Santa's lap. He was, however, concerned about another child crying during the time the photo was snapped!

Halloween Festivities

Mason got extra use out of his costume this year. He got to wear in to the Halloween festivities on the cruise, trick-or-treating in our downtown area, to the town Halloween party, and trick-or-treating on Halloween night. We went to Grandma Monica & Papa Gene's house to trick-or-treat again this year. It was a much different experience than last year. He was able to walk door to door himself this year and say trick or treat. He did a great job! Our biggest problem was keeping his hat of his costume on. We told him that people wouldn't give him candy if he didn't have it on so he'd put it on before he rang a doorbell and then take it off as he left!!
