Christmas at Gigi's

For the past few years, we've started going to Jeremy's mom's house on Christmas night for dinner and presents. A few more of his relatives were there this year (Uncle Terry and Aunt Christy, Ryan and Rachel) We had a great time. I only took a few pictures with my camera and my lighting was not cooperating. I especially love the one of Jax and Uncle Terry...you can see the family resemblance in their faces :)
Enjoy our pictures

Christmas Day at Honey and Pappa's

Every year we go to my parents house on Christmas day after we've enjoyed santa at home. We had a great time as always this year. I know it seems like all my pictures are just of the boys opening gifts but that's what I enjoy. They are at such a fun age. This time I got a couple of Jake showing his true colors...throwing fits. You can see it in his face...it cracks me up! My dad also dressed him up in an old jacket with a nod to Mt Lebanon on it. They are just alike...2 peas in a pod! Enjoy the pics

Christmas Morning 2011

Christmas Morning the boys woke up right at 7am. They did not give us any time to prepare this year....they immediately ran out into the living room to see what Santa had brought. It was so fun. Jax gets so excited and in turn, so does Jake. They got plenty of toys to fill all the spaces that were empty from me cleaning toys out the week before. The big gift this year was a trampoline. Jax wanted one so bad he even mentioned it to santa when he sat on his lap. They boys play on it every day and I am so glad we got it! Enjoy our pictures.

Christmas Eve 2011

















Every year for Christmas Eve we travel to Grandma Jackson's house. We eat dinner, open gifts and enjoy family time with Jeremy's dad's side of the family. We had a great time this year and especially since Aunt Amy was in town as well. We missed Aunt Katy but the boys enjoyed the gifts she sent ahead of time from Guam.

The boys got tons of toys. Jax is really into "Cars" right now and got a lot of things to keep him busy. Jake got some fun toys too. Jana's boys - Steven and David - got Jake a set of balls. Jake took a bite out of one as soon as he got them. Aunt Amy also helped the boys add different body parts to themselves with the balls as the evening went on...it was pretty funny.

We had a good dinner provided by Grandma Jackson and plenty of snacks. Jake couldn't get enough...as usual. The boys always love going to Grandma's house. Can't imagine what it will be like next year with 3...what fun! Enjoy the pictures

Let the Christmas Fun Begin
















We started putting up Christmas decorations as soon as we got home from Thanksgiving. Jeremy does this every year. He decided to let Jax put up the star this year....so cute.


We've already watched the Christmas Story about a dozen times and the boys are already addicted like Jeremy...(the one about the boy getting the bb gun...you'll shoot your eye out)


With our weekend of bad weather I decided to let the boys decorate some Christmas cookies. They both enjoyed this. Jax decorated, Jake ate...as usual. I've included some pictures of their decorations. Hope you like them.

Halloween 2011



Jax was the lone tin man on Halloween this year. Jake had a fever all day that day of 102.5 so he got to stay home with Honey while Jeremy and I took Jax to my sister's house for some trick or treating with the cousins and a few other people. Grumpa met up with us as well and joined us on our trick or treat walk for a while. Jax got lots of candy and everyone thought his costume was great. After trick or treating, we went over to Gigi and Mike's house for a little more. Jax had a great time and even snuck in a few "trick or treat, smell my feet" that he said he learned from his cousins...nice!
