Catch Up

I have really been a slacker lately! We have been really busy with the holidays, then a lot of sickness (Yuck!), house hunting and now the moving process is coming up! We are really excited about our new house, I will post pictures of it soon.
Before all of that, I thought I'd post a few pictures from Christmas, (a little overdue). I really didn't take very many pictures at all, I was having too much fun.
We spent Christmas with my family in Utah since we were in Puerto Rico with Nathan's family over Thanksgiving. On Christmas Eve we went skiing, (Nathan and I went snowboarding), and I got a cute new pink snowboard. I decided I must not be in very good shape because I was SO sore the next few days I could hardly move.
That night we went to my g & g Crookston's house for a Christmas Eve party. It was so fun to see family that I don't get to see very often.
The family made this Christmas tree for my grandparent's present. It had pictures of EVERYONE in the family. I think there were over 72 people, and they were all toddler pictures. It turned out so cute, and of course brought my sweet grandma to tears.

Nathan's parent's gave Jackson this cool basket ball hoop. He was SO excited, he totally loves anything sports!

Jackson was so much fun this Christmas. He was really into unwrapping presents.
Don't ya love my dad's outfit here! :-)

In the middle of opening all of his NEW presents, Jacks suddenly stopped, and went and got my mom's toys (that he plays with all the time) and set up a little village in the living room and played. I thought it was so funny, so much for anything new.

Typical Jacks!

This kid is obsessed with being outside, he cannot get enough. The only problem is it's freezing!! My mom is so good about taking him out when I'm a woos.

Jackson loves this table I got him for Christmas. He plays play-Do, with puzzles and colors everyday. Yes, it is pink, but I have since painted it an aqua blue, and it's so cute!

The day was so fun, eating good food, and prime rib, just hanging out and then staying up till one in the morning playing Settlers of Catan, Knights and Cities with my brother and sister-in-law.

He really is a cute boy. It was fun to watch him at the Christmas party.

That's such a good idea to decorate a Christmas tree with tons of people's toddler pictures. I'm excited for the day when Pax will sit and play at a table like that. Jackson is so cute! It was so nice to see you guys over Christmas.
