Mason's Sixth Birthday

He chose Red Robin for dinner, and guess who was there...The Real Red Robin himself! Just for Mason's birthday :)
Mason chose a "pizza/movie night" birthday party with his friends.


The concession stand, the kids had fake money that they could use to buy the movie treats they wanted. Popcorn cupcakes to send home in popcorn containers for the goody bags. I cut up mini marshmallows to look like popcorn kernels then painted on yellow food coloring for the butter look.

Christmas in California

The Ghetto Walmart Santa. Mason was not fooled for a minute. Later that afternoon he says to me, "Mom, I don't think that was the real Santa, I could see that his bear was tied on to his face." We saw another Santa with a real beard at Allene's choir concert, but Mason' was not convinced by this one either. He said "That wasn't the real Santa either, his beard smelled like cigarettes." Not cool, fake Santas, not cool. Next year we need to find a legit Santa. Making Christmas cookies for Santa
New Christmas Jammies from Uncle Spencer! Thanks Uncle Spencer!!

Santa found us even though we were at Grandma Great's house in California.

California Vacation

We had a great time in California. We stayed with Great Grandma and Grandpa Lowe, the kids had fun picking oranges with Grandpa Great. Peyton got her first mani/pedi. We spent time with cousins and we went to Disneyland.


CHURRO!!

We went to Disneyland on the busiest day in recorded history of the park. It was unreal. We've been to Disneyland a handful of times and never seen anything like it. They stopped selling tickets at 10 am because the park had reached capacity. Mason's favorite ride was Splash Mountain, Peyton's was the "merry go around" Even though it was crazy busy, we still had a great time and were able to ride everything we wanted to. (Except Zach and Mason couldn't do Indiana Jones because Mason wasn't tall enough) The kids were zombies by the end of the night and could barely stay awake to walk out of the park.
