Quick Christmas update...no pictures

...Not because there is a lack of pictures, because believe me, there is NOT, it's just we are still in Vegas with no way to upload.
Christmas Eve we went to the Rogers family dinner and program, and it was really cool. Jaxon got to be a wise man, and he was so darling. He walked right up to Mary, handed her the gift, and stood staring at her for the rest of the program (which is better than the other two wise men who got in a wrestling match over a pacifier!) It brought tears to my eyes, to see Jaxon so big and involved.
After we got home and got Jaxon to bed, we did our tradition (second year makes it a tradition) of watching ELF while putting together toys. Jaxon's tool bench was a HUGE hit! Since it was from Santa it wasn't wrapped. Christmas morning he refused to dump out his stocking or open any presents because he was too enthralled with his bench. After he mellowed out he opened his presents from Gr. and Gr. Rogers- a hard hat, goggles, a chainsaw, and a jackhammer! Jaxon is in heaven, and just runs from one toy to the other, as far as Jaxon is concerned, it was a "Man's Man" Christmas. We had a great lunch with Dave's two younger sisters, Mel and kim, and their spouses and children. Then we lounged, ate, napped, ate, and ate. After Jaxon's nap we went to Dave's older sisters house to see their family- (5 daughters!) Jaxon was in TOY HEAVEN! They had gotten a Wii and guitar hero, and boy was it fun! We are continuing to lounge, eat, and play my BIL's Wii and are having a fantastic time! It won't be so fun to go back to real life, but I guess that is what makes vacations/ holidays so fun and special!

Oh yes, and Jaxon only lasted one day with the PNP turned over on him. He crawled out from under this morning (he is stronger than we gave his credit for) and tried to use it to crawl up on the washer again. The straps (by straps, I mean Ductape) holding the PNP up snapped and the whole thing crashed...so we heard him and ran in. Uncle Andy and Dave rigged up a new device- a large comforter over the top of the pack and play, strapped on with several rachet straps that go ALL the way around the pack and play...we put Jaxon in, put the blanket over the top, and then strapped them all in place! In Jaxon's defense, I don't think he's TRYING to be naughty by getting out, it's just that every time we present him with a new challenge, he accepts it, and RISES to the occasion magnificiantly!!
