Nana and PawPaw

Jack loved having his Nana and PawPaw in town!!! He wouldn't let Nana out of his sight. They were great to take such good care of him. While they were here, I read three of the four Twilight books (and read the fourth after they left- addicted!), went to an actual movie... in the theatre, and got some shopping done. I would like to say that I took the opportunity to clean or organize my house or garage, but I just didn't. It was so nice! Jack had fun going to Walmart, the park, the soccer field, the Wiggly play center, the mall, and spending time with Nana and PawPaw. He wrestled and read books and watched his shows. He was loving life! Jack was so sad to see them leave. He cried and cried when they had to say bye and head to the airport. We can't wait to see them in three months for Jack's birthday. How is my little boy already almost two???

Merry Christmas!

Santa!

Do I have the two most gorgeous nieces or what?

What a wonderful Christmas we had!!! We are so blessed to live so close to my parents and my brother and his two daughters and it was great to spend time with them on Christmas. We are also blessed to have Adam's parents come down to visit every few months. They would not miss seeing Jackson on Christmas for anything so they were in town to join in the fun. Our "keeping it simple and not overdoing it" Christmas did not happen and my house now looks like Toys 'R Us. Jackson loves his new diner and has been "cooking" nonstop. He loved his new shopping cart (a manly red and yellow one of course) and his new airplane. He has also been playing hockey and basketball to make up for all the cooking and cleaning he has been doing. This keeps Daddy from throwing away the baby doll. He was so overwhelmed on Christmas that we stopped opening his presents and let him open a present or two a day for the next week. Jack loves his big wheel that his Aunt Sharon got him and his tent that Grandma Donna got him too. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family to share the holiday season with.

Jack with Nana and PawPaw

We enjoyed some yummy lasagna, salad, and bread on Christmas Eve at our house. Jack loved having all four of his grandparents over! He showed off his new big wheel that Aunt Sharon and the gang gave him for Christmas. After dinner Jack opened one present- a Wiggles car. How fun! He hung up his stocking with Daddy and read The Night Before Christmas with PawPaw and Nana.

Baking Cookies with Nana

Jack had fun baking cookies with Nana before Christmas! He even liked eating the cookie dough just like Mommy. Nana was not pleased:) He loved wearing the apron like Nana and rolling out the dough. It was hard to get the rolling pin out of his hands. He also enjoyed decorating the cookies. Decorating in his mind means dumping all the sprinkles in one spot. It was so cute. He was very proud of himself and had a great time.
