Happy Belated Christmas

Wait, what is the date today? Oh, It's January 8th. I thought it was December 25th! Okay, okay, okay...I'm late, really late at posting the family Christmas experience. But as they say, better late than never. You see my schedule was really booked over the holidays. I had to watch a movie and stay up late every single night. It was exhausting.

Here are some of the funniest things and touching moments of the Mason family Christmas experience

1st was Brandon opening his new Heelys.



Here's Bubbie holding his Heely's.

Another gift that was highly anticipated was Hannah's remote control tarantula. She hardly talked about anything else day after day. When she finally had it in her hands she was all smiles. It's been too fun watching Han chase kids around the house and listening to them squeal.





Okay, another really awesome moment was Brandon getting a toy he has not left alone for more than an hour or so--a Ben Ten Omnitrex wrist watch game. He is so excited in this video you'll love it.





Wasn't that great. That was pure excitement bursting over from about six weeks of "I want a Ben Ten Deluxe Omnitrex" repeated again and again and again.

Now for what might be the most dramatic Christmas gift opening moment of the year...Michaela and Hannah with their Littlest Petshops Around the World. This was another much talked about and highly coveted present. Watch and enjoy. In fact I guarantee you hit replay a couple of times on this one.




We had purchased all of Katie's gifts and then Tricia was talking with Kate. Katie said "Oh, I want to make some dolls today with my doll factory but, oh, it's already wrapped and I have to wait for Christmas." Huh!? We don't buy dat for you. So off we went to buy one more gift for sweet Katie Jane...a Doll Factory.




For the grand finale...the gift we've all been waiting for...the fabulous, the unbelievable, the all favorite party play time...kkkkaaaarrrraaaaooookkkkeeee!!!! Yes, folks, that's right, a Karaoke machine in the hands of the two most dramatic girls you can imagine. Here's the fun...




Okay, drama queens right. The best was Hannah sneaking into our bedroom where we kept "the big gift" each day and hugging it. Yes, that's right, she would hug and pet the box. Can we say, "excited!" Now that it is open it's been too fun signing with them. Even Tricia sang a couple of times (don't let her fool you, she covers the Corrs and Wilson Phillips very well with her great voice.) Well, there's more videos, stories, and pictures to come. It's so dang late right now and I have work tomorrow. Soon I'll have to post a couple of other videos of us singing with the "Karaloke" machine. And in addition we want to say thank you to everyone who sent so many wonderful gifts this year. We love you and truly appreciate your generosity to our family. We miss you all and hope to see you soon. Merry Christmas and definitely have a Happy New Year!

Love,

The Mason's
