Christmas Eve we opened our jammies and Jackson opened his stocking. Then we read our Christmas book that we get from Mike's mom, this year it was A Christmas Dress For Ellen. It was a good story to remind us of all of our bessings. Then we read about the Savior's birth. Here we are in our jammies.
My Dad and brothers came up the week of Christmas. It was so nice to hang out and play games and just spend time together. I love this picture of all of them together.
Here are some pictures from Christmas morning.
Jackson's first present. He tried to open it or should I say he tried to play with the paper.
The monday after Christmas we went to Minersville to spend some time with Mike's family. Everyone was nice enough to come to minersville to see us and have a dinner together.
Jackson turned 6 months old on that Monday too. So I took a bunch of pictures of him. At his 6 month checkup he weighed 15 lbs. 11 oz. and was 25 1/2 inches he was in the 10th to 20th percentile, so he isn't that big. He is moving all over the place now, he figures out a way to get where he wants to go. He got his 2 bottom teeth a couple days before Christmas. He is such a good boy, he loves to just play on the ground going after toys or whatever else he can get. He says dadadada all the time. He is just a joy to have around, the girls love playing with him and keeping him happy, which makes it easier for me to get stuff done. He is growing way too fast!
We went to Bridget's house for New Year's Eve. It was nice to see her new house all done up and spend time with her. The girls love seeing their aunt Bridget. She made dinner and had the gilrs help her. She got a taste of what its like to have "help" in the kitchen from kids. Thanks for letting us come Bridget.

I hope everyone has a great year this year, I don't really have any resolutions, but I hope I can better myself especially spiritually. I also want to remember to enjoy all the moments with my family that go by so quickly. Happy New Year a little late everyone!
