We had a very Merry and snowy Christmas. Everybody got what they wanted, Mat got a job, Misti was glad Mat got a job, Melia got the princess palace, and Mason had lots of boxes to beat on and wrapping paper to eat. We had a great holiday visiting with friends and family.

I admit, this picture is posed. But, she decorated the entire tree almost by herself. I had to disperse some of the ornaments because the left side was pretty heavily decorated and the right side was pretty sparse. She is so excited for Christmas she can hardly wait, however, she keeps calling it her birthday instead of Christmas.

Mason really thought he was helping, in actuality, he was taking all the ornaments off the tree as Melia placed them on the tree (at least on the bottom foot or two of the tree).

the potential for fighting has already started, Mason love to pull Melia's hair. He thinks it is hillarious to hear her scream. I see many tears coming from this interaction in the future.
