Jackson's Second Birthday Party

This is August with her parrot that she won at the birthday party for Jackson. They all had fun being pirates for the day. That was his favorite costume

Gabby and Savannah discussing the party bags that they got, notice Gabby had to lift her eye patch to see what was going on!

Jackson opening one of his gifts with Mom's help. He was king for the day but he didn't have to walk the plank!!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY JACKSON!

Backtrack to 2007!

This is Jackson and Daddy (Joe) cleaning out the pumpkin last Oct. The pumpkin is almost as big as Jackson is!

Mom (Jen) helped clean out the insides, Jackson had a ball digging all the seeds out of the pumpkin that was as big as he is!

Who's that under all the wrapping

Guess Who?

This is August who is always ready to party! She had to decorate herself as a present with all the bows and ribbons from the packages Christmas morning

And Brenden who wanted to know if he was taller than the snowman!

Christmas and The New Year!

Riley and Jackson calling their friends on their phones, to wish them a

"Happy New Year!"

This is the front room on Christmas day with everyone ready to open gifts. Angie played Santa this year and got to hand out the presents!

This is the shelf Don built for me to put in the front room to hold all of the grandkids pictures. It turned out really good and it doesn't take up as much room as the old shelf we had.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Brenden's First Christmas

Our own little Santa Claus!

This is how our Christmas Tree used to look on Christmas morning years ago!! Angie and her children were "home" for Christmas this year. The awe of little children is the best morning gift of all.

Brenden opening his first Christmas present with the help of Mommy and Big Sister, Riley.

Brock, who is not a "little" boy any more, made it to Nana and Papa's for Christmas too! We had a short visit, but was great to see him. He's so proud to be taller than Nana now!
