Christmas is a little different this year...

This Christmas we're doing things a little different. We're spending Christmas in Phoenix with my brother and his family (YAY!!!) which means Santa had to come to our house a little early (there was no way I was paying to haul all the presents down there! He'll get a few though...).

Santa arrived last Sunday and didn't disappoint our little guy. Chris and I did well not over buying, instead we put extra money into his college fund. It's a good thing too because my parents were in fine Grandparent form and spoiled him rotten. That's their job as Grandparents though! : ) He also received a HUGE package from his Grandma in FL which contained about 5 large gifts. And finally, the Bowers got him his race track set which was an instant hit. Thank you to everyone for thinking of Jackson on Christmas, it means a lot to him and Chris and I! 

We leave tomorrow morning for AZ and can't begin to convey how excited we are. I can't wait to see Mike and Mara's new home; I hope the Syring's are ready for us!

Jackson got a ton of Packer attire. He decided to try them all on at once. What you can't see is that the has a jersey and Packer underwear on as well.

Mom, Jackson and Grandpa all working on un-packaging stuff and putting things together. It takes a team with the armor these toys were clad in.

Jackson gave his Grandparents the Christmas present (Packer poster) he had been working on for the last week. As you can tell his mind was on what to open next and we were all left admiring his work of 'art'. He put a lot of love into this poster and I was proud of him for thinking of making a gift for his Grandma and Grandpa.

Chris and I, a rare photo where one of us isn't behind the camera!

Santa brought Jackson the game Go Fish. He and Dad were in the middle of a Go Fish marathon.

Where I spend the winter season...

Rudolph is who this deer was dubbed. Another stuffed animal to add to the plethora already in his bed. He no longer uses a pillow, he sleep on his animals.

Proudly showing off his Highway Hauler truck from his Grandma and Grandpa.

I love his expression!

I found this picture of my Dad and my son sweet.
