Home for the Holidays

We made it to Grandma and Grandpa's today! Hooray! Fun times with Auntie Al, Grandma, Grandpa, and the rest of the crew:)

Holiday parties are what I live for!

All dressed up!

Ahhh, silent nights......

Although, Jackson has such a sweet voice, mommy and daddy are really enjoying his "singing." :)

Santa Comes for a Visit

Jackson's OK with this Santa guy.

Griffin's worried he might be on the Naughty list.

Jackson didn't even know there was a Naughty list!

It's so true!

And Grandpas, and Aunts and Uncles, and Graunts and Gruncles, and GGrandmas and GGrandpas, oh my!!

Who said sweater party??

Hahahaha!! I'm there!

All I want for Christmas....

OR teeth.

Where's Jackson??

Although this photo shoot didn't start out on a great note.....

Once we got a hand out, it wasn't so bad:)


I thought I would give everyone a little update since I've only been posting pictures lately. We are really enjoying the holiday season with Jackson and looking forward to his first Christmas! We got together with friends last weekend and today with Matt's grandfather, John and his wife, Becky and we're looking forward to many more get-togethers in the next week!

Jackson seems to change from minute to minute these days! He's started laughing, which is just about the sweetest sound you'll ever hear:) That, and when he "talks" to you in the softest, sweetest little voice! Yesterday I had him laughing out loud for about 5 minutes! I guess Mom's funnier than she thought.

He started using his exersaucer (the toy that he sits in and can rotate 360 degrees) last week and he's loving it more and more every day! He can really grab onto toys now and he likes to taste them all. Bring out the sanitizer, MOM!!

He also made a BIG transition this week, to the crib in his bedroom. He's slept in there for the WHOLE night the last two nights. We are thankful the transition has gone so smoothly! We were both a little anxious not having him right next to us where we could check on him whenever we wanted. But he's done great, and I think he's probably sleeping better in there than he was in our room.

He's steadily growing into a strong little boy! He's such a happy little boy:) He's such a joy and we are both so thankful we've been blessed with such a sweet little boy!

We wish everyone a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season!!!

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer....

.....had a very shiny nose. (and I'm loving those chubby little legs!)

Little Elf

This little elf is hard at work!

One cozy, snuggly polar bear

We had a pretty difficult time tonight, so I'm happy we got the pictures we did! I think he's over having his picture taken and I can't imagine why? He's only had about a zillion taken in the last two weeks. He's a pretty good sport but by the end, we had to have the binky:)


Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season!

This one says it all:)

it says sweet:)

Peek-a-Boo

Jackson, LIVE!

We put on Jackson's "my first Christmas" jammies on tonight and he got so excited! He was telling me he can't wait for his first Christmas:) I wanted to share his excitement with all of you!

Snow Much Fun!!

Mags had to get in on it:)

Making a list

Daddy and Jackson working on a list for Santa:)

One TIRED reindeer!

This little reindeer was busy today! It's Daddy's birthday and he was Mommy's helper. We had to wrap gifts and bake the cake and Jackson sprinkled his sweetness into the whole thing:) This little reindeer was just too tired to have his picture taken.


But I guess even Jackson can't sleep when the Paparazzi's shooting....

Happy Birthday Daddy, we love you!

Sweet as a candy cane!

Santa's Workshop

I've been an angel all year.....

The Crose Christmas Tree Hunt 2010

This one isn't necessarily a Christmas outfit, but in the spirit of the season, this is his outfit for Christmas tree hunting. Brrrrr! It was cold out there, good thing he picked a great one so quickly:)


Glad to be back in the car!

.....and one tiny reindeer

25 days of Jackson....in Christmas outfits

Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love Christmas time!! In the spirit of the season (and because Jackson has so many cute Christmas outfits) I've decided to do the 25 days of Christmas--Jackson style. Now, the idea would be that I would put up a new Christmas picture each day, but I'm not making any promises here. I'll try my best, but you know how things go.....;)

But, first things first, let's not skip over Thanksgiving. We had a few Thanksgivings, I guess that's appropriate since we have so much to be thankful for! We began our holiday at the Bush's and then headed over to Uncle Tom and Aunt Jennifer's for round two. Needless to say, by the end of the day we were full of wonderful food! Round number three didn't come until Saturday. My brother, Chris and his wife Melody weren't able to make it for actual turkey day so we had one with them on Saturday. A very nice end to a wonderful weekend!



Now onto the 25 days of Jackson!!
