Birthday Week at the Mason's

It's been a week of birthdays at our house this week. Of course, we celebrated Christ's birth on Thursday, and then today is Eden's 3rd birthday. My niece Savannah turns 12 on Tuesday and so we had a party for her and Eden together at our house today.

I haven't had time to put all of the pictures on our computer yet from Christmas, but here are a couple from my mom's camera. We have had such a fun week. It's been exhausting, but totally worth it to spend so much time with family. Here are a few pictures. I will post more next week after I've had time to "organize" our chaos :0) Love you all!

We made a birthday cake for Jesus this year to help Eden understand that Christmas is when we celebrate His birth. We bought a special heart-shaped pan to bake it in. She even sang "Happy Birthday" to Him and blew out candles on the cake. It was so precious!

Here's the birthday girl! I can't believe she is 3 years old! Last night I told her that once she is 3 she cannot come in mommy's bed anymore at night. She looked at me, thought about it, and said, "Where's the cot?" (We used to put a cot up at the foot of our bed for her to crawl in if she needed to come in our room). Such a smart little girl!!

Here are the birthday girls blowing out their candles. Eden ADORES her cousin, Savannah. Too bad she lives 11 hours away in Florida. It's been so great having her in town this week!
