Hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

what a week

Finally, I am able to sit down and get online for a minute. It has been very busy the last few days at the Kaye household. We celebrated my Aunt Karen's birthday, went to Christmas Eve service and spent the evening at my sister's house, opened gifts Christmas morning and spent most of the day with Adam's family and then spent the evening at my Gram's. I tried to soak up every minute with our families because I know it will be awhile before we see them again, possibly next Christmas. I didn't expect to get emotional saying goodbye's, but it hit me all at once and I started to cry as I hugged my cousin Taylor. I know I will see them all again, but it is still hard knowing that I won't be able to drive up to Dallas anytime I want.

For Christmas Mason got a Baby Einstein Playstation (Exersaucer) and he loves it. He took a long nap this afternoon and after he woke up, we took him out to the living room and showed it to him. The boy was smiling from ear to ear and wanted to taste everything (all of his toys get a taste test these days). Once he realized he could turn around, he didn't stop. I have great video footage of it and a few pics. Nothing better then seeing your son discover new things.

Speaking of new things, Mason also received a new car seat for Christmas from his Mimi & Granddad. Mason is way too big for his infant carseat and we got the go ahead to turn him around. The new seat looks so comfortable and he looks like such a big boy in his new ride. The best part is watching his face as he looks outside at the world around him. His face lights up now that he can see Mommy & Daddy driving. Actually, now that he can see us while we are driving, he doesn't get upset when the vehicle is stopped. Our little boy is growing up.

under the weather

I have been under the weather this week. Wednesday night, I started to feel queezy and a little dizzy. I took some tums hoping that would solve the problem. Since the feeling didn't subside, I laid on the couch and took it easy all day on Thursday. I knew I had some kind of stomach bug by the middle of the night and decided to spend all evening and Friday in bed. I hated not being able to hold Mason and kiss on him. I know Adam is exhausted from playing Mr. Mom. He has been terrific and made sure Mason was well entertained and didn't make too much noise to disturb mommy. He even took him on an outing to see all of the grandparents yesterday. Luckily, I am starting to feel better and can finish some last minute details before our Christmas celebrations begin with our families. Thanks Babe for everyhing!

welcome to the blog world

My husband has a blog! Check it out.

shop til you drop

A little over a week until Christmas and I still have some shopping left to do. I was able to get plenty of ideas this past week of great gifts for everyone. However, since Adam was out of town all week, I opted to wait until he returned to start shopping. It's a little difficult to get it all done with a 5 month old.

Saturday evening, we braved Memorial City Mall, and it was very cold and windy outside. During this time of year, I hate the parking at all the shopping malls. The best bet is to just park far away and walk. I made a list before we left and knew exactly what we were looking for. Four stores and two hours later, we were on our merry way. I was so proud of myself, although I take pride in being a quick and smart shopper. I think it's the only way Adam will go with me.

Today we decided to try and finish the rest of our shopping and we only have one more person to buy for, besides our gifts to each other. I'm looking forward to Mason's first Christmas. Although he doesn't really understand what Christmas means, I can't wait to see him play with the wrapping paper and look adorable as he always does. We leave for our house hunting trip this week, which will make it hard to finish up the shopping, but I love a challenge.
