Today we went to see Santa!!!! Mason didn't like him, he screamed but had no tears. He also painted a Christmas ornament.

Today we went to Iowa City to the children's museum http://www.theicm.org/. We carpooled with Bella. Mason and Bella were so cute, at one point they were holding hands. Mason had lots of fun playing with all the exhibits they had there.

Even though it was 30 and snowing outside, Mason insisted we go out to play!!! I couldn't decide which pictures I like best so I uploaded all of them enjoy!!! :)

Tonight we put up our Christmas tree. Our tree has just lights on it this year cause little man can't control his hands. Mason was very cute helping, he and daddy screwed it into the base and he also tried to help with the lights.
