I forgot to take pictures of the process, but did get a picture of the one Mason wanted to leave for Santa. He said, "Mama, can we leave the Texas one for Santa so that he remembers I am Mason from Texas?" Goodness I love this boy!

We had many, many of these throughout the month of December! They're kind of my favorite.

This is a Christmas Eve tradition for the Halls. Every year Nate's mom orders a chicken nugget tray and fruit tray from Chick Fil A and we have that and other snacks and a hangout and watch tv night! Starting at 7pm The Christmas Story is on for a 24 hour marathon! This is the first year that Mason really paid any attention to it and liked it. Love sharing these traditions with him! Nana let him open one gift that evening...a Ninja Turtle pillow. She thought he might like it for our movie night!
