Happy 1st Christmas!

Jackson had a blast w. the packages, ripping the paper, eating the paper, ripping off the bows, eating the bows... all sorts of fun to be had.

here are a random sample of pictures from the past few days, including today.

This is Grandpa Eddie or Grandpa-grumples as he's more affectionately know! Jackson & Grandpa are down at the Farm in Romeo, Florida. This was a few days before Christmas.



Here are Jackson & Grandpa on his Harley down at the farm.



I'll have to give the backdrop to these next few pictures. We took Jackson to Buddy DeGraff's house in Melrose Florida. He decorates his house with "a lot" of lights, and he dressed up as Santa on this very special night. Jerrod knows Buddy from working at Gator Door these past several years. Anyway, when we first arrived this is how Jackson felt about "Santa"...



Seeing this we didn't want to be those cruel parents who force their kid like totally bizarre looking -jolly old red faced & white bearded strangers, so we walked Jackson around took in all the sights, sounds, & smells (Santa has an fire pit outside - the aromas from the fire were fabulous). Then we found this wooden Santa, and from the looks of this picture it would appear that Jackson was "cool" with Santa.... oh, just wait. (I'll post these pictures later - blogger has really been a pain lately when uploading pictures!)

We were invited to spend Christmas in St. Augustine this year. With it being a "quiet" Christmas, at least that's what we were told by those who've had their children, that we would do something different this year before the craziness hits next year & every subsequent year after that. So, here are a few pictures from Christmas Day with the Carters, Jerrod's cousins. Ellie, the youngest Carter, gave Jackson a nickname.... "Jacksy" - it's hilarious!

Here's Jackson w. Catie Carter - he LOVED Catie, was really taken w. her.

Catie, Jacksy & Ellie & the sweet dump truck Auntie Julz gave Jackson for Christmas.

Daddy & Jackson all tuckered out from the mornings doings.


Jackson just woke up from his nap. Mommy & Jackson talking on the phone w. Nana & Grandpa Eddie - wishing them a very Happy Christmas!


Here are a few from out ventures out & about in downtown St. Augustine, at "The Fort". Daddy & Jackson - as we make our way around The Fort.

On our way home from St. Aug we had to take Clarissa, our cat, to see Dr. Lynn Peck, a holistic Vet- she's fabulous with animals. Anyway, this is when Daddy & Jackson where hanging out in the car waiting for Bubb's to be done w. her appiontment.


Another sweet one of "Jacksy"


This is one of our finds in St. Aug - a swing for Jackson! He LOVES to swing. Daddy hung this up this past weekend. He swings at least once a day on it. Laughs, giggles, & loves being on his swing.
