Christmas 2012

I am a little behind on posting this but did not want to go without posting about Mathis’ 1st Christmas!  I will keep it short & sweet!

We started the Christmas season off with pictures with Santa!  We went to Bass Pro Shop because it was free to take a picture with the big guy.

He was so chill with Santa…

Then it was time for Emma to join!  I snapped one shot before she lost it, ha ha.  Mathis (4 months old) & Emma (8 months old)

We continued our tradition of seeing Christmas lights with the Coats!

We had our community group Christmas party at our house and Charlie dressed up like Santa!  ha ha

We celebrated Christmas with Charlie’s family on the 23rd.  The extended Thomas family came over during the day and that night we stayed and enjoyed time with Charlie’s parents, Grandma Dody, Sally, Cody & Levi and Andy and Jennifer. 

Boy cousins – Levi (2) & Mathis (4 months)

Mathis with Aunt Jen, Uncle Andy & Grandma Dody

Christmas Eve Service at C Life – celebrating JESUS the reason for the Christmas season!  It was such a good service and it was so nice to have Abby home.  Charlie had to work so he could not come this year.

After the Christmas Eve service we went to my parents house to open our traditional pajamas.  Mathis opening his first Christmas present.  Mathis & Emma in their Christmas pj’s. 

After opening our pj’s we went to visit Charlie at work.  This was Mathis’ first visit to the fire station.

Then Mathis and I headed home and after putting him to bed I finished wrapping presents!

I finished making Mathis’ stocking just in time to be hung up on Christmas Eve!

Christmas morning!

We started a tradition with Mathis’ Christmas gifts.  Something he wants (outdoor swing), something he needs (night time cloth diaper), something he can wear (magnetic pajamas by Magnificent Baby) and something to read (B is for Baylor book)

Charlie and I just did stockings for each other this year.

Mathis’ handprint ornament – love this chubby hand!

Then we headed over to my parents to be with the fam!  The adult table on the left and kid table on the right

We had to run outside real quick and get a picture because it was snowing!

Opening up gifts!

Mathis with all of his gift from DeeDee, G-Bob and Santa!

One of my favorite pictures ever!  Lauren gave me this hand-me-down outfit and I brought to my parents house just in case I wanted to put it on Mathis and I am so glad I did!  He is the cutest Santa ever!!
