Video Footage of Jackson Christmas Morning!

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!!

Santa Santa and more Santa!!

Jackson has been all about Santa this year so we have taken him all over to see Santa!!!  Jackson has told Santa everything he is asking for, however the list keeps growing longer and longer with every visit!!!! We have the countdown on for Santa's arrival and Jackson even wrote his letter to Santa today and Eucaris took him to mail it in Santa's mailbox at the Oldsmar town hall!  So cute!!  Jackson also received a special video message from Santa just for him which told him that he is on the "Nice" list this year.  Although its a good thing the message came before the meltdown over a Santa lollipop tonight :-) Here are a few pictures of Jackson's fun visits with Santa this year and his adorable video message from Santa!!

6 Days until Christmas and Counting.......

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the Lossius Household and we are just so excited!!!!  Our house is decorated inside and out, our tree is decorated with beautiful ornaments we have collected throughout the years and with some new ornaments that Jackson has made this year at school!!  The presents are being wrapped on a daily basis and the Christmas baking has begun!!  This is just truly such a wonderful time of the year!!!  And even though it is so hectic I keep trying to remind myself to stop and enjoy it!! So here are a few pictures for you all to enjoy!!!

Our Tree all decorated!

Pretzel sticks that my sweet friend Layne gave me the idea about and so I made them for Jackson's teachers and Ryan's office and boy were they a big hit at both places!! And they were so easy I dipped them in the same white chocolate as the oreo balls then rolled them in sprinkles!!! Thanks Layne!

All wrapped up!!!!

Our 1st Gingerbread House!!

Jackson has been asking me since Thanksgiving if we could make a gingerbread house so of course I was all for it!!  So we decided today was the day we were going to attempt to make our gingerbread house!!!  We had such a great time!!  We laughed at all the mistakes I made and we made a huge mess but thats ok we had so much fun and thats all that counts!!  Jackson was a big help decorating the gingerbread house!!  However, naturally he ate more candy than he decorated with so we only had enough to do the roof and the front of the house oh well!!!  Our gingerbread house is finished so we had to share our pictures!!  We are so proud of it!!  Now that we got the hang of it next years will be even better!!

Building the house!
