I woke up and rolled over to David. I lightly slapped his face to wake him up. "David, Baby, babe, one and only, significant other, best friend, DAVIDDD" I said trying to wake him up. "What" he groaned. "It's Christmas!" I replied.
I rolled out of bed and through to masons room, he was just waking up and he had messy hair, it was so cute. "Merry Christmas mason" I said lifting him out of his crib.
I changed his diaper and then took him through to David. "Mace wake dada up" I said putting him onto mine and David's bed. He walked over to David and sat on him. "Dada dada dada dada dada" mason repeated until David woke up. He rolled over with mason still on top of him and put his hands on masons back. "Merry Christmas mason" he said pulling him into a hug. "Hey mace, tell mommy happy Christmas" David said pointing at me. "Mey cimas mommy" he said. "Merry Christmas Macey, I love you" I said joining David and masons hug. "Who wants to open presents!" I said picking up mason and spinning him around in the air. He giggled as I put him down and we all bounded down the stairs together. I held David's hand and he had mason in his arms.
Christmas is such a magical thing when you have a kid. There's so much belief and magic moments that will create memories for years to come. David had set up his camera so we could see masons reaction to all of the presents and so we could film him opening them.
As we walked into the family room, where the big tree stood,mason scanned over all of the presents. He looked confused, amazed and excited. "What is all that mason?" I asked him. He just kept looking open eyed at all the gifts. "Do you want to open them?" I asked him. He nodded his head and David placed him down onto the carpet. He ran over and picked up a small one. He picked at it for only seconds before he decided he couldn't do it and cane racing over to me. "Mommy open pease" he said handing it to me. I put one small tear in the packaging and handed it back to him. He ripped off the rest of the  paper. It was a paw patrol toy. He was so excited and happy as he opened the rest of the presents. Me and David also got each other a few things but it wasn't exactly anything too exciting.
When we were done with presents, we let mason have a breakfast of chocolate, since it's Christmas and then got dressed for the rest of the day.
Both mine and David's family's were coming to dinner and they are in hotels not far from here at the minute. I was excited and nervous because all of our family get to be together but I have to cook for lots of people and my cooking usually ends up on fire so the odds of me cooking something decedent are kind of low.
Mason looked super cute in his Christmas outfit which was a little shirt with animals on it and some grey pants.

When I was almost finished cooking dinner, David's family arrived. David greeted them at the door and soon after my family arrived.
The house felt so cheery and happy. Me and mine and David's mom were cooking, mine and David's dads were talking, David was playing with mason and Toby and Ester and Sara were playing on their phones and often stealing David's camera to 'vlog'.
"So Liza how have you been?" David's mom asked me. "Fine, well I suppose it's been a little hard since it's a year anniversary of the baby but other than that I'm fine" I replied. "You are doing amazing" she said hugging me. I nodded as tears welled up in my eyes a little. I quickly wiped them away and we continued the conversation for a while, my mom often chiming in too.

When dinner was ready, we all sat round the table. Me and David sat at the top of the table opposite each other but with mason at the very top in his high chair, my mom and dad were sat next to me and David's parents were sat next to david. Then Toby, Ester and Sara were sat at the bottom of the table. The whole room added to the festivity. We had a big Christmas tree in the corner and the table was set with lots of trimmings and decorations in red and gold and it looked so pretty especially with all of the masses of food laid on it. As everyone chatted, David stood up and David clinked his glass. "Guys can I have you attention" he said as everyone fell silent. "Okay so, thank you for coming, it is so nice to be with family at Christmas time. We are so happy and lucky to have you as our family. You guys are the best and mine and Lizas little family don't know what we would do without you all. Dig in!" He said. He sat back down and smiled at me. "You're so goofy" I said to him smiling because of his contagious smile. He laughed and we dug in to the feast.

After we had all eaten our body weight in food, we crashed in the living room. We watched some tv and within seconds mason and Toby were passed out. I took a photo of them both and they looked absolutely adorable.

As the hours went by everyone left until it was just me, David and mason again. Even though mason had napped, he still was super tired as he had done a lot of eating and present opening today so I don't blame him.
As we cuddled on the sofa, David spoke. "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me" he said completely randomly. "Ditto" i replied smiling. "My best friend and my little boy, it can't get any better" he spoke. "Would it be better or worse if we had another baby?" I asked curiously. "You're not-" he began. "Oh no I'm not pregnant" I said cutting him off. "I think it would be even better if you had another baby" he replied. "When do we start trying again?" I asked. "I'm not sure, I don't want what happened before happen again, plus when you had mason you had icp so it's an increased risk." David said worried. "I know, we have no chance" I said sadly. "Baby, don't think like that" David said wrapping me up in his arms. "It's hard not to, my one job and I'm completely useless" I said, my eyes starting to fill with tears. "Never say that again Liza, you are not useless, you are an amazing mom to mason and you are the best fiancé I could ever ask for. Me and mason love you and you are definitely not useless" he told me. I nodded and snuggled into David's chest even more. "I love you" I whispered. "I love you too pookie, merry Christmas" David replied. "Merry Christmas babe" I replied.
Me, David and mason fell asleep in each others arms.
That was the best Christmas of my life.

What a cliché ending 😂 thank you all for reading and all the comments on the last book you guys are awesome. Also I have a sports day tomorrow so it's time for me to go have about ten mental breakdowns before I have to run 100m in front of the whole school.
