Christmas Magic Part 2

Christmas morning has finally arrived! Jackson could not have been more excited to see if Santa had really come! Thanks to mommy and Noni, we were able to capture all the magic on video. Since we moved, we couldnt' remember where we put the video camera charger. Well, Noni remembered seeing a bag in the garage that had some wires in it, and sure enough, it was in there! That was around midnight. We then realized that the video camera was full and we had to download the movies onto our computer before we could record any new movies. Unfortunately, we had never downloaded any movies......approximately 4:30 in the morning, all the movies were downloaded and we were ready to record. We were exhausted but well worth it to have those sweet voices and giggles on vidoe forever!!

Jackson's Santa pile. He asked for a telescope, a flying pterodactyl, a micromachine mold maker, angry birds star wars telepods, and a playmobile castle. Santa did not disapoint!

Beckett's Santa pile included his favorite...a Dyson vacuum cleaner!

He also got these tobbles which were super fun!

Jackson was so funny with his presents! Instead of tearing through them and then moving on to the next one, he would play with each new item for about 20 minutes. Here he is making his first hotwheel car!

Stocking time!

Beckett loves planes!

Santa did not forget Emma! Jackson is giving Emma her special Christmas bacon treat!!

This year at school, Jackson got to go shopping for each of us. He was SO excited to give us the Christmas presents that he picked out for us. I just loved that he was able to do this so he could see that as fun as it is to get presents, it is even more fun to give! Here he is giving Noni her present. He could hardly contain his excitement!

He gave Noni a beautful necklace. He also picked out a beautiful necklace for mommy that I will always treasure!

Granddaddy's turn!

A Georgia Buldog picture frame for his desk :)

He bought daddy a bag that is able to carry both the camera and the video camera.

And a puppy for Beckett. He did such a great job picking out the perfect gift for each of us!

Who doesn't love Despicable Me?

From Noni and Graddaddy...matching big wheels!

Jackson had to immediately take it for a spin. He rode it as fast as his daddy did when he was his age!

We also got Jackson a dinosaur excavation kit. He couldn't wait to start chipping away at that rock!

One of Beckett's favorite toys! A dancing Mickey!! It was so funny to see them dancing around with Mickey Mouse.

I also got both boy's roller skates as they are always putting my roller blades on. Jackson was ready to go but Beckett, my cautious one, was a little more hesitant.

That night Uncle Brad, Aunt Kiera, Mary, James, and Ben came over for Christmas dinner. I didn't get a lot of pictures from the opening frenzy but I did capture this gem....

We bought Uncle Brad and Aunt Kiera monogrammed robes :)
We had such a wonderful Christmas and feel so blessed for all we have. I have to say I was a little sad when it was over, but I know next year will be even more fun!
