... those exact words were heard coming out of our sweet boy's mouth more times than I could count yesterday. He, certainly did have the BEST day ever!
Here's a little peek at some of the FUN Jackson had over the Holiday Season !!!
(We definitely have LOTS & LOTS more to share... there are TONS and TONS of pics to go through... not to mention, the mounds of laundry, decorations needing to be put away, homes to find for new toys, older toys to say goodbye to find new homes for, general de-cluttering, and a big clean sweep to make our home look a bit less like the Christmas explosion that it does, at this very moment...)
Our Christmas Tree!
Both Jackson and Maggie did such a great job helping decorate our tree this year... it was fun to tell them stories about each ornament and to add new, special ones!
Jackson's Preschool Christmas Program
December 2011
One of Santa's new Reindeer's... Jackson! (seriously... so so so cute!!!)
Our little Reindeer being such a good friend, watching the "4's and 5's" classes sing their special Christmas songs!
Jackson with Santa!
Santa was at Jackson's School Program... it was very very cool. Jack was super excited to have his picture taken with Santa! Maggie... well, Maggie wasn't so into Santa this year. She preferred waving to him from afar... anything closer than about 20 feet was considered DANGER Santa Zone to Miss Maggs... and I won't even begin to tell you how terrified our lil' Miss was, when thinking that Santa would be sneaking into HER house in the middle of the night. She could care less how many presents he may be leaving... she wanted nothing to do with the mere mention and/or fact that he would actually be in HER house, and therefore in that close of a proximity to her! Oy Vey.... we're hoping she'll outgrow her EXTREME distaste for Santa soon... (at least by next year!).
Jackson and two of his great buddies from school, all enjoying some Santa time after their great Christmas Program. They all did such a great job, remembering all of their songs, the motions that went along with each, and just really enjoying being the "STARS of the night"!
Gingerbread House Making!!!
The munchkins and I had a fun afternoon last week, making a BIG Gingerbread House.
I'm fairly sure that Jackson consumed more of the "house" than actually made it on to the house... but that is the BEST part about building a Gingerbread House...
that and mixing all of the candy into the frosting (maggie....)!
Jackson: aka: sugared up, silly monkey, Gingerbread house making machine!
Making cookies with Daddy for Santa!!!
We saved all baking for the week before Christmas! It was so much fun! Both Jackson and Maggie LOVED each and every little craft and baking session. They were the best of helpers!
Christmas Eve!
After Church and Dinner, both kiddos got to open one gift.
They were both beyond thrilled and excited.
Jackson received "THE MOST SUPER AWESOME BUZZ LIGHTYEAR EVER!"!!!!!
Playing with Buzz on Christmas morning!
Again... this is just Post #1 (of many, I think...) of Christmas! We have so much more to share!
(and yes... Maggie had a WONDERFUL Christmas too... Jackson definitely was at the age this year of REALLY understanding Christmas, and to say he had the most Holiday Cheer, well... that would be an understatement! )!!!!
