Early christmas gift FUN!!

The gift giving started early in the LeRouax house this year. On the 25th Mason and Samantha will get presents from Santa but the gift today was from Mommy, Daddy, Mamie, Memaw, Paw Paw, Pop and Ya Ya. We are so thrilled to be able to give the kids their very own PLAYSET!!! The install company came this morning at 8 am to start putting it up and did not leave here until noon. I covered the back door with wrapping paper so that 1. Mason wouldnt be able to see out the window and 2. so that it would be like he was opening a big present when he did finally get to take a peek at it. On a side note it was a great way to use all my extra wrapping paper that isn't going to get used this year. :)

So this tactic worked all morning. He had no idea that there were people working in the back yard. Then after changing his diaper we were walking to the stairs and Derrek and I caught him do a double take at the eyebrow windows in the den. He had caught a glimpse and knew something was in the back yard. When we got to the bottom of the steps he immediately ran to the back door and said " I go outside." Derrek and I just had to laugh :) So we put some shoes on him and Derrek went with one camera to the back and I got the other from the inside and this is what we got.

Mason "opening" his present from the inside

And from the outside

His first good look with the door open

Now you are probably saying to yourself that he doesn't look very excited and in general you are right. The reason why he looks so down about it is b/c when we opened the door to get a good look it was RAINING!!! Poor kid! He gets this brand new playset that we knew he was itching to try out and it is raining. :( Well his father and I said to heck with the rain and eventually fun was had. He still had a blast!! Here he is enjoying his brand new playset as best he can in the rain.

Climbing the rock wall. He can actually do this by himself but since it was wet daddy the protector was there just in case

Turning the wheel

Trying to peer out the binoculars

At this moment he is yelling at me " Hi mom"

A view of the whole set.

Sorry the pictures aren't great but I was NOT going out into the rain. haha.

As you can see we have a lovely mud pit at the bottom of our set BUT in a few weeks the install company is coming back in and putting up a perimeter with some wood chips to fill it in as fall protection. Its pretty stinking awesome!!! A huge thanks to all of our family members who helped make this possible for our babies. Ya'll are THE BEST!!! We are very much looking forward to dryer weather so that Mason can have all his little friends over to play.
