Christmas with Nana and Papa

Check me out!  I was being a "ham" and put Cheerios on my face.

Here's Sissy and I enjoying part of a movie the best way possible - in jammies eating popcorn!

Nana and Papa came to visit!  We enjoyed a really nice couple of days with them.

We celebrated Christmas one night.

Nana's caramel corn was a hit!

We've really enjoyed our Christmas vacation with friends and family!

Love,

Mom and Kendall's Weekend Up North

A few weekends ago, Mom and Kendall went up north to visit Nana, Papa, Great-Grandma Mary, and Great-Grandpa Bob. 
Kendall gets a kick out of checking herself out in mirrors.

Great-Grandma Mary had the neatest bear that sang a beautiful song!

She gave me some beautiful necklaces!  I love jewelry!

It was great to see Great-Grandpa Bob, too!  I gave him hugs and kisses!

At Nana and Papa's, I played with Mom's My Little Ponies that she had as a girl!

Nana played jewelry with me.

And I helped Papa with the computer!

We had a wonderful trip!

Love,
Kendall

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!
I was willing to take some pictures before we started opening presents last night.  Jackson was still napping.

Blowing kisses...

So Mom and Dad say it's time to open presents... and then they want us to sit still for pictures.  Come on now!

We decided to open gifts from family on Christmas Eve.  There were so many presents... THANK YOU SO MUCH!  You all spoiled us!

Then this morning... Santa came!  He even ate our cookies and drank our milk, too!

We've had a wonderfully relaxing Christmas.  It's been so nice to be lazy and stay in our jammies late!  We've done a lot of playing, too!

We are really looking forward to seeing more family and friends this week and having Mom and Dad home all week!

A very Merry Christmas to all of you!

Love,

Jackson

"First" Snow of 2011

Hey!  Guess what?  We got a dusting of snow, so we HAD to go out and play in it!  It's been the only snow to stick so far this season.

We like to eat it (even though Mom kept saying not to).

Just the right amount of snow... for eating AND riding the big wheel.

I pulled my sister in the sled!  She only fell out... a few times.

It's that time of year... for Christmas cookies!  I decorated my own cookie!

Of course I had one, too!

We celebrated Christmas with Uncle David, Aunt Audrey, Isabella, and Cohen this past weekend.

I got more trains and some cars from the Cars movie!  I also got a new book!  Thank you SO much!

I got a new baby, a Jessie doll from Toy Story, and a new pearl for my pearl necklace!  We were so spoiled!  Thank you!

All that fun with my cousins tired me out!

And this is how my dad puts a headband in my hair!

And this is how my cat Iso likes to play with grocery bags!

Silly, Iso!



We decided to have a mini-dance party tonight to one of our favorite Christmas songs... Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree.  Well, I enjoyed the dance party... Sissy wanted her nook.  Rumor has it she needs to say, "Bye, bye nook" once Christmas vacation comes.

The best part of the night?  Skyping with Ma Mac and Nana and Papa!  I had a great day at school today and wanted to share the good news!

Only 3 more working days until Christmas vacation... woo hoo!  Have a great rest of the week!

Love,
Jackson

Jackson's Christmas Concert

Hi!  I had my Christmas concert last night.  Do you see me and my teacher Mrs. Anderson below?

Mom and Dad were so proud of me!  Kendall can't wait to be able to perform some day, too.





Those are just a few samples of the beautiful music we sang.

Miss Katie just keeps giving us more crafts to make!  I decorated a tree this week.

And I finished my snowman!

Happy Birthday to Mom today!  Have a great rest of the week!
