We're kinda Christmas procrastinators. I did a lot of our Christmas shopping the week of Christmas and we didn't go do Christmas-y things until about two weeks before. We had a lot of fun seeing Jackson's reaction to everything. Some things he really loved (like the decorations) and other things he wasn't as excited about (like opening presents).
The first Christmas thing we did this year was go to Christmas Village in Ogden. It was so weird this year because there was absolutely no snow and no ice. I mean, it's not Christmas Village if you're not slipping around and having to hold your date's hand right?
My favorite thing is watching these two together! Steve is such a great dad and Jackson has so much fun with him.
I love the clouds on the mountains in this picture! We went up to my little sister's dance recital and really enjoyed watching her dance. She did so good!
On Christmas Eve we went to my Aunt's and visited with my cousins and we did the Nativity. We have done this for years and it gets funner every year as we all get older.
This year my favorite part was making Jackson a sheep. We finally got him to say "Ahhh!" (his version of Baa) right before we started and then he randomly said it throughout the Nativity (just like a real sheep would have).
I had to take the pen and shoe away from him to try to get him to open his present. We only got him one big present and everyone else spoiled him. We thought that would probably happen and I'm glad we just got him the dump truck.
This last picture is a very tame version of the mess our house was in for about a week post-Christmas. Christmas is so much fun, but I am so glad it is only once a year! We've finally got everything all put away and are back to normal life.
I hope everyone else had a great time and has recuperated as well :)
