Merry Christmas!! (Part Two - Abilene, TX)

We went to Abilene this year for actual Christmas Day!  We spent the week with Kent's amazing family!  We loved seeing everyone and thanks to Jackson's sweet cousins, we had a ton of help! :)

Merry Christmas!! (Part One - College Station & Belton, TX)

Merry Christmas to everyone!! :) What a wonderful time of year!  We had so much fun seeing family and friends, eating a ton of yummy food, opening beautiful gifts, but most importantly remembering why we celebrate the season…the most amazing gift of all, the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

The Christmas season started in College Station.  With the help of Baby Jackson, Kent and I decorated the Christmas tree, while Yogi "supervised."

Then, we were invited to Kent's Denbury Christmas Party.  The theme was an "Ugly Christmas Sweater Party."  So, with "rented sweaters" from Kelly and Allyn, here's what we arrived in (picture was taken a few days late, because Jackson can't figure out how to use the camera yet..haha):

  It was so great to meet everyone and we had a blast!  I even won a Keurig in the raffle!  Haha!!

Then we loaded up all of our goodies and headed to Belton for the Clark Christmas!  We had an awesome time spending time with my family!!

Now…to Abilene we go!!  Yay!

3 Months Old and a Visit to See Santa!!

Jackson just turned 3 months old!!  Time is flying by!  He is such a sweet boy!

This is what Jackson is into lately: he still loves to eat, sleep, and snuggle!  Also, he loves to smile (he really does, it's just hard to capture by camera…haha) and "talk."  He has really strong legs and likes to stand up while we hold him.  Jackson is very curious about the world around him…he loves to look around, look at lights, fans, and people!  He loves to be held (by anyone) and is really starting to enjoy playing in his ocean play-yard, listening to his music and staring at the characters!

He loves to twist around in his bed…when I lay him down for a nap or at night, I'll go to pick him up, hours later, and he's turned at least 90 degrees the other way! :)  I guess turning over is in his near future!    

Here's some 3 month pictures of our cutie pie...

We went to see Santa this past Saturday!  Jackson was perfect!  He let Santa hold him and didn't cry at all!  I'm not sure how long that will last, but we'll take it as a win for his first visit! :)  Jackson has been a VERY good boy this year…Santa will probably bring him lots of goodies for his 1st Christmas!

We love you sooooo much sweet Jackson!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Jackson's 1st Thanksgiving was wonderful!  We loved seeing family, eating yummy food, and watching tons of football!  We have so much to be thankful for this year…amazing family and friends, our health, Kent's new job with Denbury Resources, and of course, our precious blessing, Baby Jackson!  The Lord has truly blessed our lives, we are beyond thankful! :)

Can't wait until next year!  Looking forward to Christmas! :)
