Christmas 2010

WE ARE TRULY BLESSED!! This Christmas was filled with Family. And I loved it! We got to visit with just about everyone on my side of the family. We had four separate Christmas gatherings. Chris and Machelle got to come for a few hours and i enjoyed that. Wow how I miss my Chris and Barbra (I love you guys!). Then we got to have Christmas with Aunt Linda and Granny. Next was the visit with Santa's loot and Nanna and Bunkbunk christmas. Then we went to Monie and Papaw's and last but not least we had the Taylor Christmas. SO we eat for two days straight. But the bad part was Jackson was sick (he had a fever virius that turned into bronchitis). But it didn't slow him down much maybe to 90mph instead of 100. The kids got more stuff then i can list, they got everything they asked for and more. I (Jennifer) got a lot also as well as Jonathan did to. Thanks to everyone! We love you all!

A funny story, Jackson was opening a present from Nanna and it was in a white box. He looked at Nanna and said "Nanna you got me a white box ?!" Oh if he only knew how blessed he is!

The loot!

Offical visit to see Santa

Well we finally made the official visit to Santa (two days before Christmas). Jackson as usual just about tackled him and Juliette went the other way. Jackson asked for Criss Cross Crash Hot Wheels, Computer Game and a Train. Juliette didn't speak a word to him so she sent him a message via brain waves (which begin like this "Stay away from me but when you visit the house I want a baby doll" LOL). She would look at him but not much for touching, sitting in his lap or taking a picture. So I had to get in the picture so she would participate and she still was not happy.

Polar Express 2011

It is that time of year again. The polar Express time. Since we have moved we had to make a trip over to Birmingham, and will do so next year also. It is so much fun. The kids enjoy it and I loved seeing their faces. Juliette still did not like Santa but she didn't throw a hissy fit. Jackson on the other hand would have jumped on his back and stayed there until it was time to go. He did get to give him a big hug. Cookies and milk was a hit as usual. This year we got in the train where the storyteller was and he sang songs. That made it more fun because it was better then listening to him over the speaker! I again can't wait for next years event!

Merrehope - Jackson's Field Trip

In Jackson's school the Field trips have to be driven by parents plus one. Meaning there has to be a driver in a car plus an additional adult. Since my car is messy, i volunteer to be the additional adult. The last field trip was to Merrehope. This place is beautiful and at Christmas they decorate trees through out the old home. Jackson has 15 in his class (which include 6 boys, wild boys). It was so cold. There are 2 homes one which is renovated and one in the process and the heat needs to be updated. But i think they enjoyed it, if nothing else then being away from school.

Juliette's Carousel Birthday Party

Wow this carousel could fly. It made me very dizzy but for the first time ever Juliette loved it! What fun times!

Happy 2nd Birthday Juliette!

Happy birthday sweet girl! We love you. I woke you up this morning singing Happy birthday and you keep telling me "No its JackJacks's Birthday!" You had a party at your school! You wanted Pizza so went to get some and you sang "twinkle twinkle" all the way there and home. You are going to be a talker! I hope you had a wonderful birthday! Love you!!!

Jackson's Bowling Birthday Party

WE had a blast. A fun time was had by all. There was a great turnout. Jackson even got a SPARE not bad because that was his first time to bowl (not on the Wii). Thanks for everyone coming. It really means a lot to have family support. Look at Jonathan, Nanna, Angelia, Mitch and Lindsay getting in on the action!

Happy 5th Birthday JACKSON!!!!

Happy 5th Birthday to Jackson (aka Jackman is what Juliette calls him). We love you! We wish you many more and look forward to helping you celebrate!
