In the days leading up to Christmas Jess and I relished in all the traditions we have enjoyed year after year and added a new one or two.
Our Polar Express date night with hot cocoa and sugar cookies was a huge hit. Jackson was completely mesmerized by this movie and his excitement over the magic made me so very happy. Through the entire movie he kept making these surprised faces and looking at me with these bright eyes.
Seeing the lights at the park is a tradition we have celebrated for several years. Last year we made our way through the line with a snuggled up sleeping baby in the back seat. It is hard to believe that just one year later Jackson was sitting on my lap in amazement.
Our Christmas flowed just as many have in the past, Christmas Eve at my parents, Christmas morning at home, then to Grandma B's, and finally back to my parents. The days are busy but oh so fun!!
As with most things these days it was all about Toy Story and Choo Choo trains.
Meeting Woody for the first time...
Trains have taken over our house...
And a new bike that he calls his "sickle bike"
Jackson was very excited Christmas morning seeing his new tool bench from Santa. He played and played...in fact it was a bit difficult to get him to move to something else once he saw a gift. He wanted to play with each thing for a bit and then move to another present. Good thing we only had three wrapped gifts for him or it could have taken us all day.
