Christmas Festivities

Wow this month went quickly. Here is a run down of how our month went.

 Jackson helped decorate the tree.

 TA-DAH All done!

 We also had our annual Christmas party. And what kind of party would it be with out Santa.

The Thursday day before Christmas, we headed to Zoo Lights.

Stood in line for Santa for about an hour, but the kids each wrote a letter to leave. And the Santa at the zoo really spends time with each child.

 We tried warming up with some hot chocolate.

The Saturday before Christmas we made Christmas goodies. Cupcakes, chocolate chip cookies, and spice drops. Everything was very yummy.

I even gave plates away to a few neighbors.

 Christmas Eve, after dinner the kids opened their PJ's.

And the gift from each other. Anthony got Jackson a Jake and the Neverland Pirates sword and Jackson got Anthony a Angry Birds Star Wars kit.

 They picked perfect gifts for each other.

 They got cookies and milk ready for Santa.

Looks like Santa arrived.

We woke up at 630 to find the above. Come to find out Anthony woke up at 5 am and opened all his gifts from Santa. My mom caught him and made him go back to bed until we found the presents. 

Here is a glimpse of our Christmas morning.

 

All and all it was a great day. Great time seeing family and friends.
