We've been busy

This past week was quite eventful! 

Saturday, December 1

Cason rolled over from his back to his tummy for the first time!  He had already been rolling from his tummy to his back.  That started when we was almost 2 months old.  He was in his crib when he rolled from his back to his tummy and then later that morning he was rolling again on his play mat!  We were so proud of him and loved watching how strong he is. 

We also hosted a couple’s shower for my wonderful friend Jessica and her soon to be hubby Chad. It was so much fun “showering” them with love and gifts.  We can’t wait to see Jessica marry such an amazing man.  Jessica is an incredibly loving and selfless woman and friend.  She more than deserves Chad and I am so thankful that God brought them together.

That evening we had our Annual Progressive Dinner with a super fun group of friends.  The appetizer house had a photo booth set up!  We all had a little too much fun with it.  This was our 5^th year and we’re looking forward to many more years!

Pyramid gone wrong

Of course the guys had to out do us with a totem pole! 

Monday, December 3 – Wednesday, December 5

AJ had a client to meet with in Waco, so Cason and I rode down with him.  AJ dropped us off at my parents’ house and we stayed for a 3 day visit.  Cason loved his special time with his Pop and Nana.  Since Pop is retired now, Cason spent LOTS of time with him while mommy took naps and was lazy!  I am very thankful that my dad was so excited and willing to entertain and care for Cason while I took naps and leisurely went about each day.  My mom, Nana, came home for lunch each day and was in the door by 5:00 each evening.  Cason was quite the little motivator for getting out of work each day.  AJ came back to Waco on Wednesday to conduct some more business and then came to pick us up.  We went to Cheddars  for dinner with my parents before leaving to go home.  We LOVE Cheddars!!!

Cason is dreaming of the day that he can eat Pop's famous Chex Mix.

Cason really liked the yellow fish at Cheddars.

Thursday, December 6 … Elfing!!!

What is “Elfing” you ask?  Well, the other night our doorbell rang.  When I got to the door, no one was there, but there was a gift.  It was full of some Christmas treats and a note explaining the Elf game.  I of course jumped at this opportunity to ring peoples’ doorbells and run!  So, Cason and I went to Kroger to shop for our “Elf” gifts to “Elf” the neighbors.  We got 2 sets of a Starbucks Frappuccino, a Christmas mug, hot chocolate, and some M&Ms. After putting Cason to bed, I went out and “Elf-ed” two of our neighbors.  I had forgotten the adrenalin rush that you get when you ring a doorbell and run away hoping you get away before they open the door and see you!  It was quite the thrill!  I came home and told AJ that we would be getting more gifts and that we’d go out together another night so that he could experience the thrill again too!
