Gingerbread House and Santa Claus

I bought a gingerbread house kit and one night we took it to Grandma and Grandpa's house to put it together.

 Morgan tried to eat the candy the whole time...

 Mason was interested for a few minutes...

 Brad is the cubmaster in our ward and the December activity was going to the museum as a families to see the Nativity and gingerbread house exhibits...I didn't know that they had Santa Claus at the museum until we got there, but it was a nice surprise! Morgan did pretty good sitting on his lap, especially once she saw the candy canes...That girl will do anything for sugar : )

 On the other hand, this was as close as I could get Mason to go...but at least we can say that we saw Santa Claus! 

Christmas Tree

The Saturday after Thanksgiving, Brad took Mason out to cut down a Christmas tree with Corey and MaryAnn and the Doty's. They found the perfect tree and cut it down and brought it home. Then came the fun part of decorating! 

Chicken Pox??

One morning I was at work and I got a text message from Brad saying that he had woken up to Mason with chicken pox...I was pretty shocked and wasn't sure where he would have gotten them from since he has had the vaccines. Then I saw the picture that Brad sent me...

Turns out that Mason found a marker before anyone else was awake and gave him self the chicken pox. Silly boy! 

Mason goes to the dentist

I finally found a children's dentist here in Idaho and made an appointment for Mason to go. It was a pirate/ocean themed office so he had a blast playing on the giant pirate ship in the waiting room. He did really good for his x-rays.

 He wasn't a huge fan of the light in his eyes

 Showing off his super clean teeth with a super cheesy smile!

Unfortunately, Mason had a couple cavities so I took him back a couple weeks later to get them filled...I chose to have him sedated for the fillings and ths boy does not react well to Versed...it made him very upset...but we survived the fillings and made it home with a super loopy Mason. He kept looking around as I was driving home and asking "what world are we in mom?" It was pretty funny. Then we got home and this poor kid couldn't even sit up without falling over...After a sippy cup and a movie, he was feeling back to normal and had no memory of the dentist : )
