Celebrating our birthdays

Anthony and I both have Christmas Birthdays. We celebrated with a date night out to Shula's steakhouse. Debbie kept the kids for a few hours. 

We ordered the Antelope, yummy!

We also did cake and ice cream with the family on Christmas Eve.

Dillon is 1 month old

Dillon is already one month old. 

He now weighs 11lbs in the 80th percentile and is over 21 inches long in the 40th percentile. Doctor said he was doing great with weight gain and milestones.

He is already starting to hold up his head and baby talk. He has changed so much in 4 weeks. 

Great Grandpas

Mason and Dillon spent the day with their Great Grandpas in Tampa. 

Teaching Grandpa how to take a selfie

They both still have the magic touch with babies! 

New York Family

Our New York family, Grandpa Tony and Grandma Linda came to visit. We had a great time playing with the kids and catching up. 

Theresa and Tony with Dillon 

Mason played hookie from school to build then shoot rockets with his Grandpa. 

Tony, Anthony, and Mason were so excited the rockets were a success! This one even parachuted back down to the launching area!

Dillon and I stood at a safe distance to watch the fun 

There aren't many pictures from the rest of the trip, but we had a great time. Thursday we drove up to Thomasville GA to try a cheese shop from a local dairy farm called Sweet Grass Dairy. The cheese was delicious and we all enjoyed the quick day trip. 

The visits always fly by too fast, hope they come back soon. 

Mason, The Big Brother

Mason is really excited about being a big brother and is proud of his baby brother. He is constantly hugging, kissing and rubbing baby brother Dillon. 

It is amazing to see the love he has for this baby who has come into our lives and made lots of changes. I am so proud of him and love to see the genuine excitement he has with Dillon. 

Christmas Week at School

This week at school Mason made Christmas decorations, had his holiday party, Christmas book exchange, and a visit from Santa!

#Aunt Kis #BirthdayWeekend #DillonMeetsAuntChris

Aunt Chris flew into town to celebrate her birthday with us, see Mason, and meet Dillon over a long weekend. We did squeeze in birthday pedicures and cupcakes for Chris, but spent most of the time playing, laughing, and chasing Mason. We also cooked, put up the Christmas tree, rode bikes, watched a movie, and snuggled with Dillon.

Christmas Tree decorating 

Mason actually loved putting up the ornaments, and rearranging them!

Dillon is very excited about his first Christmas

She took such good care of us, we were so sad to see her go. 

We love you Aunt Chris, come back soon!
