Christmas

Jackson's first Christmas was a little overwhelming since I still haven't found places for all of the toys. A friend of ours came over last night and said our living room looks like a toy store so you can just imagine all of the things I have to find a place for. We also got a big present from my mom that I am currently typing on. She helped us to get a new laptop since our old computer is dying. It crashed 3 times during finals week for Paul and almost sent him over the edge. Here are some pictures from Christmas.


This year we celebrated advent and lit the candles at home.









Riding on his new scooter/rocker



Opening!






We also made a gingerbread house from scratch... It is supposed to be our house but flipped:)





GiGi got Jackson a new wagon to ride around in. It even has seat belts and cup holders.





Merry Christmas!

School Pictures

Here are some of the pictures I got from the photographer that came to our school last month. If you want to order some there are a lot more on a website and I can email you the password. I think he looks pretty cute saying that Mom forgot it was picture day!

The Polar Express

Last weekend we took Jackson on The Polar Express and he was able to meet Santa! He was fascinated by Santa's beard and enjoyed riding on the big train.


Aunt Josies and Jackson riding the train.
