Christmas Day--2010

Well, Christmas Day this year did not entirely follow our traditions, but we had a great celebration of Jesus' birthday anyway. :-) Jake had to spend the night out at Daybreak Christmas Eve and didn't get to come home until Christmas Day around noon, so Santa delivered the stocking gifts and a card for Jackson explaining that all the rest of the gifts would be delivered to Nana and Papa's for Christmas Dinner so Daddy wouldn't miss out.

Jackson's stocking stuffers (he is obsessed with all the little matchbox cars, so his stocking was full of them!)

Jackson helping Lilly with her stocking (she looks really interested, doesn't she)

Lilly, so thrilled with her first Christmas ;-)

So once stockings were done and Jake got home, we headed straight to my mom and dad's for Christmas dinner. Jackson and Lilly got their Santa gifts and got to open their gifts from us there.

Afterwards, we all enjoyed a wonderful dinner hosted by my parents. Most of my dad's family was able to celebrate with us (Uncle Rex and Aunt Kathy, Grandma Jones, Uncle Carl, Aunt Carol, and Derek, us, and my parents) as well as Rex's mom, Ila and her husband, Bill, Jake's cousin, Devin, and our good friend Janelle. Following dinner, we played some games and had a great time with everyone.

This coat from Nana is the cutest thing ever, and so is Lilly's expression!
