Christmas Time Festivities and Fun With Jackson

 Jackson playing with his Mickey Mouse - 11/28/11


 Jackson giving his Mickey hugs


 Jackson was at the sink and started to wash his hair with the dish scrubber and then started getting his hands all soapy and wiping his face and mouth off - it was pretty funny - we have some good videos of it but I haven't been able to upload them - 11/28/11


 Having fun at the zoolights - 11/29/11


 Jackson had a great time and loved seeing all of the lights


 Jackson always wants to do pull ups when we are at the zoo




 Enjoying the carousel at the zoolights


 Love that smile!




Jackson found this purse and was carrying it around the house - 12/5/11 


 Jackson helping us pick out our Christmas tree - he is trying to smell it!! - 12/10/11


 He thinks this looks like a good one


 Snuggling up with his daddy - 12/10/11


Some guy has all of these trains setup in his backyard.  At Christmas time he lets people come and check it out.  Cody took Jackson last year but this year it was a lot more crowded.


 They even had a Santa there for the kids before you saw the trains - 12/10/11


 With the lighting and the amount of people everywhere it was hard to get a good picture - but you can see some of the trains in the background


 They had some stairs - Jackson just wanted to go up and down the stairs but there was so many people around that it wasn't possible - as you can see he didn't take it to well - we exited right after this and he screamed for a while in the car


After we left the train place we headed over to Bass Pro so that Jackson could see Santa and sit on his lap.  Unfortunately we went on a Saturday night and you couldn't even get in line because there was already the maximum amount of people for the night.  They had some fun stuff setup so we let Jackson run around and have a good time.  He loves going up and down the elevator and the stairs they have there too.

 Riding the little carousel they had set up - it was fun and it was free - 12/10/11




 Jackson trying to play a hunting wii game they had setup at Bass Pro


 Looks like his dad needs to show him how to hold a gun


Jackson trying to use my hair straightener - sometimes he even tries to clamp his hair in it - 12/12/11


 Helping Cody get the lights ready to put on the tree - 12/14/11




 Jackson actually smiling and stopping for a picture - 12/15/11


 Inspecting the tree while we are decorating it - 12/15/11


Since Jackson didn't get to sit on Santa's lap the first time we took him to Bass Pro, I took him back during the day when it wasn't so busy.  He did really good and went right up and sat on his lap.  When Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas he said, "I want to push the button."  He loves going up and down the elevator at Bass Pro and that is what he was referring to.  He wanted to push the button for the elevator.  Well he got his wish shortly after sitting on Santa's lap!!  That was easy!!



 Sitting on Santa's lap at Bass Pro - 12/16/11


 Jackson randomly started pulling these cans out of the bottom of the pantry and stacking them - he had a great time making towers with them and then making them crash - 12/16/11




It was fun this year doing all the Christmas festivities with Jackson and seeing the excitement on his face.  Now that he is older he understands more and gets so excited about things.  He kept running around and got so excited at the zoo lights for all of the different displays and the colors of the lights.  What a fun time of year and we are so glad we are able to share it with Jackson!!!
