The Fish Tank

Finally! I am finally done uploading all the photos from our Christmas extravaganza! Our Christmas began last Saturday and ended Thursday around 10:30pm. We began by doing our stockings at home on Saturday (there were some things in Jackson's that we wanted him to have on the plane). Then we went to our friends', the Bullards, house to do Christmas with them. Gavin and Jackson had a blast ripping open presents together. Next, we boarded a plane to sunny California. We arrived Sunday and began the festivities. I was able to visit with some friends when we got in on Sunday which was so wonderful! I so enjoyed seeing CarriAnn, Jana, and Brandi again! I miss them already! Then came the big day before the big day...Christmas Eve. Every year we get together with my dad's side of the family on Christmas Eve. This time my family from Colorado flew in. It was so nice to catch up with them. We had about 25 people at my parents house. Jackson was wild! He had a blast with his second c...

This is Jackson's "Cookies for Santa" plate. Isn't it cute? My friend had a plate party and the kids got to paint their feet and the designer designed these plates for us. I will cherish this for years! PLEEEEEASE can I open one??? Jackson has pretty much ignored our tree and all the presents this year. He was so young last year (6 months) that he doesn't realize that one day soon he will be able to rip open his gifts. Well, last night we let him open a few so we could take pictures to share with our family we will be visiting in California. Now, he sits by the tree staring at the presents and occassionally touching them. He now understands that those beautifully wrapped packages can be torn open to reveal cool toys inside! My how it starts young! Merry Christmas!

Jackson is saying "cheese" while wearing mommy's slippers. He will steal my slippers from me everytime I am wearing them! He walks all around the house saying "walk, walk, walk..." yeah, I don't think the sword makes wearing the leopard slippers any less girly! Lol!
