Christmas and New Years

Well, I am a bit behind with updates, so here is a recap of the holiday season.  We went to Midland the weekend before Christmas and stayed through Christmas Eve. Jackson had all kinds of fun visiting family, opening presents, and basically playing all day.  We stayed with Brittany and Bubba which gave Jackson a chance to play with their dog, Harley....pretty much made his Christmas and helped prepare Harley for the world of babies since their little girl is due in less than 3 weeks!  We had a great time celebrating with family and were able to hang out with some friends as well while we were there. 

We headed back to San Antonio on Christmas Eve and spent a couple days there with my family over at my sister's house. Then we just rested until New Year's Eve when we headed to Austin for my friend Kristen's wedding.  Jackson pretty much tore up the dance floor at the wedding to say the least. At one point he ended up in the middle of a circle of about 30 people, showing off his moves....not a shy bone in his body apparently. He also has the same love for chocolate that I do because when giving the option of the bride's or groom's cake at our table, he picked up the chocolate to stuff in his mouth completely disregarding the other. That is what I am talking about...good taste in food already. Kristen was beautiful of course, and she and Barrett rode off on their bikes from the reception which was very fitting. 

My brother's birthday is on New Year's Eve, so we stayed with them while we were up there and celebrated his birthday on Saturday with my family. They have been in Argentina for two months, so it was really nice to catch up with them. And Jackson thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream birthday cake he had as well. And now we are home recovering and jumping into the New Year!

We had a little accident on Christmas, involving Jackson and the pavement outside my sister's house. He had a big knot on his head and a bloody nose. He didn't cry, but he sure was looking rough.
