Christmas Memories 2008

We had a great Christmas - lots of fun this year with Jackson. We took almost 200 pictures, so be glad that I have narrowed them down. :) On Christmas Day, we woke up at 5:45 am (we think the steroid shot was messing with J's sleep a little bit) and Jackson got to practice opening gifts. He had a great time (sorry no pictures b/c we realized our camera batteries were dead)! Then it was onto my parents' house for more celebration. . .

Mimi made Jackson a pancake in the shape of an airplane! Eggs and pancakes for J - yum!

Then J helped B.B. read the Christmas story.

Time to tear into the gifts! He would tear the paper into tiny pieces. After he opened his gifts, he decided he would steal everyone else's presents and help open them.

After all the exciting gift-opening (boy were there a lot of gifts), it was time for a nap and then time to hang out on the couch with dad and watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Christmas Night we headed to Grandmother's house (Jeremy's mom). We celebrated Christmas with everyone there on Friday. More gifts for everyone!

Look what Santa brought Jackson AND Judson - a tool bench (one for each, of course). :) They're not really into sharing.

Posing for a quick picture. . .

Catching Judson in the act. Fun memory - by the end of the day, Jackson would go over to Judson and say, "No, no, Judson!"

Playing with the toolbench and Aunt Glenda - boy is she fun!

We are extremely blessed. Although our house now looks like a toy store (and Jackson's new word is "open" as he thinks all gifts are for him), it was wonderful to spend time with family and celebrate the true reason for Christmas. From our house to yours - hope your Christmas was very merry!
