Aunt Laura & Uncle Zach's voice is reading "the Night Before Christmas " to me....very cool!!

I hear your voice Uncle Zach....wanna listen??

Where is Aunt Laura??????

There she is!! ( as Aunt Laura is blowing the napkin up into the air) Jaxton thought this was so funny!

Christmas Morning!! SANTA came!!!

Since this was the year of trains for Jaxton, Santa surprised him with a train table that makes all kinds of sounds!

What Santa left and what Jaxton was about to tear into!!

Checking out his stocking 1st....been wanting to look inside for an entire month now!!

Sucker time!!!

Jaxton's 1st present to open all by himself ( ended up needing a little assistance)

Donald? Is that really you????

"More presents" he says

Having fun tearing all the wrapping paper very slowly!

He ate a "piece" of tootsie roll in between EVERY present he opened....hilarious!!

"Too HEAVY!!"

Thank you Mimi for my very own work bench...sorry Dada...it's mine!!

Merry Christmas to all ! We hope each one of you had a wonderful Christmas and were able to share it with all of your loved ones!

Jaxton was so excited about getting presents this year and it was so much fun seeing him get all excited about Santa and his new toys!!

We spent all week cleaning, cooking and putting together all the toys! Thank goodness I think ahead because there would of been no way to of had it all done if we would have waited even 2 days before Christmas!! The train table alone took almost 3hrs!!

BUT it was all worth it in the end!! Everything turned out wonderful!

We spent Christmas Eve at my sister's ( Aunt Laura & Uncle Zach's) and Zach cooked homemade lasagna which was absolutely belly lovin good! Jaxton wanted to stay and play longer but we had to get home and put milk and cookies out for Santa!!

Jaxton loved going and getting another present to open on Christmas morning BUT he did have to have a bite of a tootsie roll in between EVERY present....I think he is officially hooked on them now THANKS to Halloween!!

Ross's parents and grandma came for Christmas dinner as did my whole family and Uncle Zach's mom....we all ate ourselves into oblivion!!! It was all so good!! Just like last year.....I was so busy all evening with Christmas dinner and presents that I didn't even think about taking pictures....this is so crazy this happens since it is like an extra appendage on me the rest of the year!! But after all said and done we had a very BLESSED Christmas and feel so lucky to have Jaxton in our lives.....he sure keeps us smiling!!

Santa Time !

And even with the tiny tiny candy balls for the fence line :)

Our very 1st Gingerbread House ( front)

Toilet Time!!

We are just now entering into the week of Christmas and it seems like we have been celebrating for a year with all the fun stuff we have been doing!

We built our 1st Gingerbread house which was alot more work than I would have ever imagined ( especially if your a perfectionist...lol) There was no way to make the house look anything like it was supposed to with what they gave you in the box so I pulled out my frosting bags and tips and away I went! Jaxton LOVED decorating and I was totally amazed at how particular he was with putting the candy on....he is gonna be my STAR student!! He wanted to "Do It Again"...but my hand was cramping from all the frosting squeezing....next year I will buy many little ones!!

Ross and I celebrated his birthday with a nice dinner out and I am happy he is my age now!

We saw Santa again this year and Jaxton did great....I didn't know if he would sit in his lap but he did and with a BIG SMILE ( thanks to Mr. Sucker too!)

This past weekend we traveled nearly 3 hours to Palestine to ride The Polar Express with his cousins and had a fun time. I expected more from it BUT Jaxton had fun and that is all that mattered! They served hot cocoa, sang Christmas Carols and Santa visited them on the 1 hour train ride. Jaxton loves the bell Santa gave him and hopefully that will be a good reminder!

Jaxton sure has been enjoying this holiday season! Santa's, reindeer, Mint M&M's, and Elfie are his favorite things! Every time he see's a gray-haired woman anywhere though he says " Mrs. Claus!!!!!!!"..... I am so thankful all those gray-haired ladies have been so nice back...LOL! The toilet flushing and "opening the top" have continued.... can't wait to see the water bill!!
