We have had a fun filled week! We started off last weekend on a trip out to west Texas via San Antonio. Before we left we got Jackson a new big boy car seat -- it was time he turned around to see the scenery! He seems to like it, but wouldn't cooperate to take a good picture. This was the best I could do.
We stopped off in San Antonio for a visit with the sweet Williams family. Hailey is getting so big and she's absolutely beautiful with this big green (sorry, Tiff) eyes & gorgeous long eye lashes! They gave Jackson some fun little cars and some puzzles. Tiff's mom, Linda brought over a gift for him too -- a precious book with a doggie bookmark. Thanks guys! 
Here is Jackson stuck in Hailey's play mat. I guess that's why those things have age limits.
We then went on to Denver City (about 80 miles south of Lubbock) to see my Mimi (Jackson's great-grandma), Aunt Christie, Uncle Hoot and cousins, Leah & Lisa. This is Jackson being tickled by Leah. Unfortunately, Mimi was sick the whole time and so we didn't get to spend as much time with her as I would have wished. We did get to have a lovely visit with the rest of the fam! They showered him with Christmas presents, including a stuffed Elmo, a workbench, some bath toys and Leah & Pete bought him these adorable John Deere camo boots. It was COLD, COLD there, which was nice, I thought!

Lisa showing Jackson his new stuffed Elmo pillow.
Aunt Christie playing carpenter with Jackson. Jackson is pretty good at swinging that hammer!

Santa came to see Jackson. One of his UPS elves did not deliver his main gift in time, but he had plenty. We still were pretty upset about it, but Jackson didn't seem to notice. Jackson woke up Christmas morning VERY grumpy, but was ok while checking out what Santa brought him. He fell apart again as soon as we got to my parent's house and stayed that way until nap time.
Some of what Santa brought him -- a soccer ball and more balls for his ball pit he got for his birthday.
Apparently, Jackson was a very good boy because Santa came to see him (and us!) at my parent's house. He got a wagon, a bear, and 2 cute hats and mittens. Santa would have taken them back if he could have seen his breakfast behavior, but after a nap he was a different child!
Here is Jackson with all of his loot from the first 2 Christmases. He wasn't too happy about taking his picture, but I wanted it! His little rocking chair is adorable and contrary to the picture, he starts immediately rocking away when he gets in it. We got a video on my parents' camera and I'll post that later.

Our 3rd & final Christmas will be on Wednesday or Thursday of this week once Aaron's brother & sister-in-law get into town all the way from Arizona. Jackson can't wait to see his cousins and we are looking forward to visiting & spending New Year's Eve with them at Gabby & Papa's house.
