Santa came to our house...

...and brought me a table & chairs,

pots & pans to use in...

a red retro kitchen. Grandpa & Daddy put it together while I napped.

Grandma & Grandpa got me this snuggly bear rug.

Auntie Sharoni got me some cool shirts. She knows me well.

I had lots of fun with the tool bench that Grammy got me. Grammy also got me a pass to the zoo, which means we can go check on the new baby elephant whenever Mommy will take me.

Grandma & Grandpa had Christmas Eve dinner at their house. Since they had quite a bit more snow than us we decided to have Grandpa come pick us up on in his truck. The drive was beautiful with the snow flocked trees, but this also caused concern as many trees were falling with the weight of the snow.

We made it safe but Grandma & Grandpa lost power. Luckily Grandma was prepared and had all the yummy food cooked already. We had Christmas Eve dinner, presents and BINGO by candlelight. All the kids had lots of fun opening presents, playing in the snow, using flashlights and telling ghost stories.

Jackson got a really neat train set & back pack from Great Grandma.

Grandma & Grandpa got Jackson a barking dog puppet.

Snow Days

Jackson's first snowman. The poor snowman's nose ended up being Jackson's snack.

December 20th

We tried to find a store that still had sleds but everyone was sold out. We broke out the snow board for Jackson to slide around on. Our nice neighbors let us borrow one of their sleds and we headed to the school nearby for some night sledding. We had a blast.

Jackson's first snow angel.

Our Silly Boy

Let It Snow

The boys resting up to play in the snow.

Even after a nap, getting dressed in snow clothes tires Jackson out.

But our little snowman had lots of fun playing in the winter wonderland.

While Jackson & Daddy played in the snow, the girls made Christmas cookies. Jackson had worked up an appetite and had to try them out.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas...

Thanksgiving

Okay this post is overdue but better late than never. I didn't get very many good Thanksgivingish pictures but here are a few of Jackson playing with his cousin Jaren. It was the first time they have gotten together and Jackson has been old enough to play back.
