Merry Christmas!!!

Well we had a wonderful Christmas this year. It was a lot more fun with Jackson--he did not really get the concept, but loved all of the paper and boxes! We wanted to thank all of our loved ones that thought of us this year--Jackson got a lot of really nice stuff!

Jackson loved Santa!!!

Jackson neeeded a little extra help from Daddy opening his presents:)
Jackson got his first real tractor!

Jackson decided to make this year a white trash Christmas

We have learned something new!

Well Jackson as you can see has learned to pull himself up:) Josh and I discovered this one night when Jackson did not want to go to sleep in his bed. We went into his room and there he was standing up smiling at us, we had to laugh:) I am sure it will not be long before he is walking!

Fun with our new camera

Josh and I got our Christmas present early--a new camera!!! This way we can take better pictures(a lot faster shutter speed!) to share with all of you:)

Jackson really likes the new camera:)

Christmas with Kelly and the kids!

Jackson had his first Christmas a few weekends ago. He loved playing with the wrapping paper and all of his new toys that Kelly got him! Kelly's kids are getting so big, Jacob is 5 and Maddie is 2--they are both waiting impatiently for Santa to arrive:) We had a great night and Jackson can not wait to play with Jacob and Maddie again!!!
