Christmas 2011

This was my favorite Christmas yet. It was so fun watching Jackson experience all of the joys of Christmas!

The weekend before Christmas we flew to Ohio to visit my dad at his new house. We went on lots of fun adventures. Here is Grandpa, Matt, and Jackson at the Ohio state capital.
Jackson found his name...
Jackson trying to catch a snowflake on his tongue. He was so excited to see the snow!
We also visited the Columbus Zoo. They had the most beautiful Christmas light display. We didn't get to see that many animals, but still had a great time. Jackson's favorite part was the Cho Cho train ride.
On Christmas Eve we went to church with Mawmaw, Pawpaw, Grandma, Aunt Janie, and Aunt Missy and then they came back to our house for dinner.
Jackson got to open an early Christmas gift from Grandma.
A family picture before church. Marybeth is getting bigger. Only one month until her due date!Santa came on Christmas morning. Jackson had so much fun opening all of his new gifts. He loves his new "Jackson size" rocking chair (that's what he calls it).
After celebrating as a family Christmas morning, we went over to Mawmaw and Pawpaw's house for lunch and more present opening. Jackson got a grill to cook on...He pretty much hasn't stopped cooking on it since he got it.
The day after Christmas we got together with Grandma, Aunt Janie, Uncle Randy, and Aunt Bridgette to celebrate and exchange gifts. Jackson had so much fun showing off all of the new things that he has been learning. He even got an ice cream cone treat.
