Christmas!

Well, I accidentally left my point at shoot at my parents house, so this post will be much sweeter and shorter than it normally would have been!
  CHRISTMAS ROCKS!!!  We have had a great holiday season, dispite the fact that our Christmas decorations this year were -
1 Christmas tree with lights.
2 Snow men decorations given to us by my mom who knows we collect snowmen
3 ornaments on the tree (2 from disneyland and one was a gift left on our doorstep)

Yup....that's it.  We normally go ALL OUT (and love to do it I might add) but this year with all the trips and the mini sessions, we were too busy! We decided that instead of being sad when we saw our meager decorations, we would think about how much fun we had had doing other things instead, and IT WORKED! Plus, guess what? Clean up tomorrow is going to be A BREEZE!!!  :o)

  Since I don't have the other camera, I will only comment on those pictures that I do have-

1. Jaxon's Preschool Nativity.  Jaxon was a wiseman, and took his job very seriously.  He loves to ham it up, but like his mom, only on his own terms..."Acting" is not so much his cup of tea (also like his Mom) and he was a little nervous being up there.  We were also a little (A LOT!) nervous...becuase anyone who knows Jaxon, knows that putting him standing on a stool for any extended period of time is just asking for a fall...or several.  Dave and I saw him get up there and both leaned in at the same time to ask the other "how long till he falls off the first time?"  We laughed together...but you know what...he never fell!!

Just got up, very serious---

Been up for a while..."NO MORE PICTURES MOM!" (believe me... I know this look well!)

Done being a wiseman....feelin' a little bored!

Jaxon's best buddy and Cousin Oakley came for his big performance!

Next- Christmas Morning!  Christmas was absolutely fabulous...but since I don't have all my pictures, I will only comment on this one part... THE TRAMPOLINE!!!!

WE LOVE IT!!!

We waited as long as possible to give Jaxon that last surprise (Actually, we only waited until the sun was up so I could video tape him seeing it) and went out about 6:45! I'm sure Our neighbors loved all the noise, and all the dogs we woke up who started barking at us! We played on the tramp for a good 45 minutes...and by the end, Dave and I were sitting in the middle and JAxon was literally running circles around us....It was such a metaphor of our lives...  :o)

Merry Christmas everyone, Merry Christmas!
