Mason Times: January 2012

Evan and Andrew playing

Andrew and Evan enjoyed some special time together down by Andrew's neighborhood lake and creek on a very beautiful and mild January day. They started out fishing but soon discovered many large craw-dads down by the creek.

New clothes and boots...

Anna modeling her new boots from Aunt Carver and a very cute new Kitty cat outfit from her as well!

New Year's Eve at the Arnold's house

We enjoyed another lovely time at the Arnold's house for New Year's Eve. It has become a very fun tradition, one the kids and adults look very forward to!

The Jefferson Hotel

I enjoyed a special lunch outing with Nancy, Sherran, Karen and Bee at the Jefferson Hotel...

Day after Christmas

At Nan-ee's house the day after Christmas, Will, Siena and Evan on Daddy's big green tractor!! Evan and Will enjoyed driving it some too.

Christmas at Aunt Carver's house

After celebrating Christmas morning at home, we went to Richmond to be with family at Aunt Carver's house. We opened gifts that afternoon and had dinner that night. Nancy, Ken, Tara and Siena came over as well!

Christmas Morning!

The children were so excited to come downstairs and see what Santa had left them...an American Girl doll and EasyBake Oven for Anna, an iPod Home and Parker Youth Compound Bow for Evan, a new bed for Finley and stockings for all of us!!

Opening more gifts...Evan is helping Finley out with his stocking.

Opening gifts!

Christmas Eve Church Service

The kids are ready for our Christmas Eve church service...we went with the Bowman family to church and then to Tony's for dinner!

Christmas Eve at home

Following with our tradition, the children create something especially for each other to be opened on Christmas Eve. This year, Evan did a color pencil drawing of a parrot for Anna. Anna did a water color painting of 2 dolphins for Evan. We saw many parrots and dolphins while our recent trip to Florida!
