Christmas 2012 - Part 4

My 4th and final post about our Christmas. 

On Christmas afternoon/evening, we went over to my parents' house to exchange gifts between my parents, Jake, Jackson and I and my sister and her family. My Papa Reg also joined us this year. ☺ 

We have a tradition of cooking breakfast food for our Christmas meal, whenever it may be that we get together that year. We have bacon, eggs, biscuits, gravy and sausage. I love this tradition!

Here are some pictures I took while we were opening gifts.

 Jackson loved this box!

If Landon wasn't opening gifts or eating, he was doing this... playing his new DS that Santa brought him.

Jackson, very happy with all of his gifts!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! It was great to spend so much time with family!

Christmas 2012 - Part 3

I have just a couple more posts on our Christmas for you.  I'm blogging about Christmas morning today. This was our first year to get Jackson gifts, and actually have a real Christmas morning. Last year, he was only a couple of months old and had no idea what was going on. I'm not really sure he got what was going on this year either, but it was fun for him to open a few presents and get a present from Santa. ☺

In Jake's family, his mom always got each of her boys one big gift that she left unwrapped. This was their "Santa" gift. The rest of the gifts she bought them would be wrapped and they would be from her, but there was always one gift from Santa, even after they stopped believing. ☺

So we decided to carry on that tradition with Jackson.

Jackson's Santa gift was a Fisher-Price Little People Wheelies Loops 'n Swoops Amusement Park Play Set.

Here he is seeing it for the first time. He didn't quite know what to think.

Jackson playing with his new toy!

Daddy showing him how it works.

After he played with that for a while, we showed him he had other gifts to unwrap.

Taking a little couch break from playing with all his new toys. ☺

All the fun toys he got Christmas morning.

And of course, he had to check out an ornament on the tree. 

So that was our fun little Christmas morning with Jackson. The first of many to come! 

I'll have our final Christmas post up tomorrow. ☺

The Many Faces of Jackson!

In an effort to remember the many faces of Jackson these days, I thought I'd post a collection of some of my favorites. ☺

He makes a few that are silly...

and a few that are sad. :-(

He makes some that are sweet...

and some that are mad.

 He makes a few that are curious...

and many that are glad!

I love each and every face he makes, and the ones I'm sure he'll add. ♥
