oh what fun...


Well...Christmas is over and what a fun time we had! Mac loved all of it and was so much fun to watch this year. Mac was up bright and early asking to see what "ho-ho" brought him. He was so cute...he loves the fire truck puzzle from santa and he refused to wear his pajama bottoms the whole morning. He played elf this year and passed out all the presents and then was completely entertained with the amount of wrapping paper. We spent the whole day with family and ate plenty of yummy food.

We officially took down the tree yesterday (which is a big deal) b/c usually i am begging charlie not to make me take it down until after the new year---the poor thing was so dead. mac was stepping all over the needles and i was vacuuming like 2-3 times a day...i was ready. Mac said his good-byes to tinkerbell until next year and the only thing that remains is my nativity and the lights outside. I just can't seem to put all of it up. I am already looking forward to next year and to see how much more exciting everything is going to be for mac...

christmas is coming....






Christmas is in high gear around the atkinson house right now...even in our car. The radio station has been glued to 99.5 wmag (continuous christmas music) since thanksgiving. We have listened to it so much that mac now asks for certain songs...rudolph, frosty, the horsey song and will randomly say W-M-A-G as loud as he can...what a mess. He has been so much fun this season...we have an elf that he appropriately named tinkerbell...maybe we can shorten that to a boyish name next year:) He tells baby jesus "happy birthday" every morning (hasn't figured out to wait until christmas day), he has gotten in more trouble than he can count for touching the ornaments on the tree, has been asking "open presents??", will randomly belt out a chorus of jingle bells while improvising a line to say "oh what fun it is to ride on a mowee---"-again-what a mess. This year is going to be so much fun with him...i may be just as excited as he is!!

*these pics were my attempt at getting some for our christmas card...but mac just decided he really didn't want to take pictures that day;)
