I tried to get a few snapshots before taking off but without bribery, staged photos are impossible to get with Jackson. He did do a few spins for me and gave me a good laugh or two. We tell him to turn around and let us have a look and he spins in circles until he is dizzy.

Then we ventured off to Santa's play land. We LOVE Santa's play land!! So much to see, so much fun to be had.
We DO NOT however love Santa...
I'm proud of my brave little man for at least meeting Santa Claus and even giving him a high five. Santa didn't seem too hurt. Actually I think Santa may get that reaction a lot and he knew just what to do.
After telling Santa what he wanted for Christmas we got to eat at the train restaurant and Jackson was in awe. He is train obsessed!! Even woke once in the middle of the night to the sound of a train and needed to tell the world all about it. At Fritz's he sat patiently and watched as each train delivered food to others waiting and his eyes lit up when the train finally delivered our food.

Jackson has become quite a fan of Christmas as well. He loves our tree and hanging ornaments, looking at each one carefully and smiling with excitement. We read his Christmas story book every night and have been learning the real meaning of Christmas. I am so thankful to have him and to see him light up like he does with Jess and I amongst all of these new discoveries. It is just a magical season...truly magical.
Merry Christmas!!!
XOXO,
The Ryans
