Christmas Day 2011

Jackson really got into Christmas this year, and loved all of the aspects.  He enjoyed reading his stories and prayers about Jesus.  He loved learning about Santa, and sitting on his lap for the first time.  He had so much fun making Christmas crafts, taking a ride on the North Pole Express in Grapevine, driving around to look at Christmas lights, decorating the tree, and awaiting Christmas morning.  He loved it all so much that he was so sad when we packed up all the Christmas decorations.  He kept saying "I want Christmas!"  Me too, buddy.  It's my favorite time of the year!

Jackson woke up on Sunday morning to find that Santa had paid him a visit!

He went straight for his new bike and started riding around the house.  :)

After checking out everything else Santa brought, he opened his presents from mommy & daddy.

 Who made all that mess?!

After Jackson finished opening presents at our house, we packed up and headed to Mimi & Grand-dad's.  Again, I hope Scott has more pictures on his phone, because I failed miserably at taking them while we were there.  Jackson, Scott, and Luke had a fun time wrestling.

Thanks to Kat-Kat, Jackson discovered one of his favorite games ever.  Hungry hungry hippos has been played about 100 times since he opened it on Christmas Day.  I don't even think I'm exaggerating.

After a fun-filled day at mimi & grand-dad's we headed back home.  We let Jackson stay up a little later than usual so he could play with some of his new toys that we left home.

I'd say this little boy had a great Christmas Day!
