Merry Christmas 2009!

We spent Christmas in Atlanta at Auntie T and UK's house. The whole family was there and we had a blast!

This is the only time Jackson was interested in presents on Christmas Morning. What's so interesting? Chocolate! For breakfast! Gotta love the holidays.

Bryce

Jackson dressed to the nines.

It's a police car! Just what the boy wanted!

Cool truck! Thanks Auntie T and UK!!!

What could this be?

WOW it's a book in the shape of a tractor!!

Even though Jackson is still too young to appreciate Christmas, we still managed to have a ball. Thanks Tracy and Kevin for hosting-it was the best yet!! Merry Christmas!

Santa!!

We went to the mall last night and saw Santa. It was mostly for a photo opportunity and as usual, Jackson was a great sport. He was very curious about Santa's beard and his enormous belt buckle, but once he had thoroughly inspected them, we got a few good shots and the "professional" photos came out great.

More Tree Fun

Jackson's vocabulary has taken off in the last couple of weeks. It's amazing how many words he knows and he loves to walk up to the Christmas tree and identify all of the different ornaments.

It's Christmas!

We put up our Christmas tree while Jackson was napping, in hopes that he'd be really excited to see the lighted tree when he woke up. We got our wish. He was excited. The video is a bit long, but we couldn't decide where to edit so we kept the whole thing. Even a week later, Jackson is still so excited to see the "tee!" and the "hot" (lights) and that's what Christmas is all about.
