Christmas 2009 with the Jackson Family

Hard to believe Christmas has come and gone already. Here I am already going back to work tomorrow....seriously :( Other than that, we had a great Christmas this year and look forward to many more.

We started off the festivities on Christmas Eve with dinner and presents at Grandma Jackson's house. That included Jeremy's dad and Jana, Grandma Jackson, Jeremy's cousins on his dad side and a few of Jana's family. We always enjoy going over there and this year we enjoyed a white Christmas eve...but a hard time getting home due to ice....one to remember! Here are some pictures.

Christmas Morning, we woke up around 7:30am and got Jax out of bed to see what Santa brought. Jax played all morning with his new toys - pictures below.

We went to Honey and Papa's house around 9:30 for breakfast, gifts, nap, afternoon lunch/dinner. That included my parents, my sister, her husband and there 3 kids. We all got some great gifts and Jax has a wonderful time with his cousins. He played so hard with them that he fell asleep around 7:15 on the recliner with me.

The day after Christmas, Jeremy's mom and Michael came over for dinner. Jeremy smoked

ribs, we watched some football and opened gifts. Jax loved all the elmo stuff he got for Christmas. He has a whole new library of elmo books alone! We even went out and bought a new book case for his new room today. Gigi also gave Jax an elmo backpak.

On Sunday, we finished off the week with a visit to my grandmother's house for lunch and gifts with my extended family. It was a great week and we are so thankful for all the family and friends we got to see and spend time with. Jax has started some great memories. By the end of the week, when we got in the car, Jax stared saying grandparents names thinking we were always going to someones house....kind of funny. Thanks again to all our family. We are so blessed to have you. Happy New Year - what a year it will be. We'll keep you posted!
