This year we were at CJ's Mom's house for Christmas Eve. We had a great turkey dinner with mashed potatoes, rolls and other yummy food. Connie had bought sticker sheets of the manger and it came with a stable to put them on. The kids put together their pictures after dinner. Jackson really liked it and put his stickers all over.
We hung out and just talked for a while and then decided to open presents. We started with the presents from Grandma Connie. Jackson got Mickey Mouse pajamas with a cape, a three foot Mickey puzzle and the firetruck Red from Cars. I got a necklace and money and CJ got candy and money.
The cousins draw names and this year Cooper had Jackson. He got plush Buzz and Woody dolls and a Little Einsteins movie. Below is Jackson opening his present and seeing Buzz and Woody. He was really excited. He was really into Cars and he still is, but now Buzz is really cool too. He always asks to watch Buzz.
Jackson was very excited to play with Red. It is a good thing I brought his other cars because he went looking for them in the diaper bag. He was so happy with his toys. I love that he gets so excited over little things. I sure wish that it would last forever!
Below is cute Cooper in his awesome Batman outfit.
The Cottrell's always have a birthday cake for Jesus. So after we opened presents, the kids were very excited to blow out the candles. So excited that we had to light them five times so each child could get a turn.
After cake and ice cream, we played and hung out for a little bit longer. Jackson was getting pretty tired and whiny so we decided to head home so he could get to bed.
When we got home, Jackson opened his new Buzz jammies to wear to bed. He was excited when he saw who was on them. CJ read The Christmas Train to Jackson before bed and Jackson loved looking at the train. Then we got his jammies on and he was very ready to go to sleep. He grabbed his Buzz and Woody dolls and headed off to his room. I love that he loves to go to bed, most of the time!

Christmas Day!
Christmas morning was so fun with Jackson. He was watching t.v. while he drank his bottle and then CJ told him there were presents in the living room to open. He didn't care at all, it took a little coaxing to get him out there. We gave him his stalking to open. He got a flying Mater, a monkey toy, a Curious George movie, and M&M's. He was so happy with his flying Mater that he didn't want to open any of his presents. CJ got Jackson to help him open more of his presents. They were Thomas and Henry trains. After that he was really done. He just wanted to play with his new toys, so we let him. I didn't get any pictures of him opening presents because I was recording and CJ was helping him. Bummer! CJ opened Jackson's other presents which were new Cars jammies, and a magnet board that says I am a Child of God.
Jackson decided to go through my stocking to see what kinds of treats he could find.
Jackson was so happy playing. I loved watching him fly his Mater around the house.
My parents and sister Kelly came up for breakfast. We had sausage souffle. It was so good! They stayed and visited for a while and Jackson loved showing off his new toys. He was running all over the place and loved getting so much attention.
After my parents left, we all took much needed naps. It was so nice. After that, we went to Cory and July's to see what the kids got then headed back home so that Connie could come over for a little bit. It was such a nice, relaxing and fun day!
