Christmas w/ Stearle's!

Christmas came several times this year... which we LOVE. Ryan's mom flew in on Thursday from Milwaukee and his brother Dave and his wife Carla drove in from Minneapolis on Thursday! It was a fun weekend! We did "our" Christmas on Friday and Jackson kept telling me Santa was coming again... funny!

We always open stockings first... they are the most fun! We all draw names and you collect a ridiculous amount of fun, goofy, sometimes useful stocking stuffers. It's really really fun!

This is what Jackson does now when I ask him to look at mommy for a picture... This is him saying "cheese" and looking away. As usual!

Again, but this time w/ his candy necklace... a first for Jackson.

Dave's stocking had some unusual hats.... #1 -

#2 -

#3 -

#4 - (w/ Carla)

Jackson joined in the fun....

And even Ma had some fun stuff!

Carla opening some stocking stuff....

Jackson got some really great presents! This is really the first year he's getting INTO the opening of the presents... He really enjoyed that part this year.

WHOA!!!

More presents!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!

He immediately asked Daddy to get everything going!

Ethan enjoys watching Jackson - so much!

"YAY Daddy, it's SUPER fast!"

Ryan's new "toy" which Jackson has named "Harold" (from Harold the helicopter, off Thomas and Friends, of course!)

Wants to be just like daddy....

We were so sad when everyone left, but needless to say, we're still enjoying all of our toys!!! What a GREAT Christmas w/ GREAT family!!!!
