Merry Christmas!!!

What a magical Christmas this was!!!  This was the first Christmas that Jackson has really understood about Santa and was totally into everything having to do with Christmas which was so much fun to watch!!  It was truly an amazing experience to watch Jackson's excitement the days leading up to Christmas and his pure happiness and amazement on Christmas morning it really brought me back to the spirit of believing!!  

Gigi, Grandpa and Michele all arrived on Friday to start the Christmas festivities!!  And Jackson was just so excited about Christmas that he barely slept for the few days leading up to Christmas!! On Christmas Eve we went to church and what a beautiful candle light service it was and Jackson was just an angel thru the whole service (well it helped that we brought our Ipad and his friend Lilly sat next to him)!!! Then we came home to put milk and cookies out for Santa (which Jackson decided the cookies looked too good to leave them all to Santa so he indulged in a few himself :-)) 

Then came Christmas morning and Jackson woke up asking if it was snowing (think he associates Christmas with snow sorry buddy not in Florida)!! Then since it wasn't snowing out the next question was if Santa came!!!  And boy did he run to the stairs when I said Yes Santa was here!!!  It was truly so special to see Christmas thru the eyes of a child!!!  He wanted to unwrap present after to present to see what else Santa brought!!!  And Jackson must have been a really good boy this year since he got everything he asked Santa for!!  It was a wonderful Christmas, we enjoyed every moment and thank you to Gigi, Grandpa and Michele for making the trip to Tampa it was so nice to spend time with you all!!!  Here are some pictures of our Christmas!!
