Jackson turned two on Saturday so we had a small party with family that night. He loved his Thomas the train birthday cake

Happy New Year!
Thanks to everyone for not sending me hate mail for not blogging lately! At 7 months pregnant and 8 weeks to go, I'm a little worn out from the holidays. We had a great Christmas and hope everyone else did as well. If it takes my entire hour lunch break, I am determined to get our Christmas pictures on the blog for everyone to enjoy!
Stromberg Christmas
We got together at Jamie and Tim's house for the Stromberg Christmas. Aunt Jamie and Uncle Tim got Jackson a tickle me Elmo. He loves to tickle Elmo and says that "Elmo is funny"
Christmas with the Blevins
Santa came to grandma and grandpa Blevins house for Christmas. Daddy wasn't afraid to sit on Santa's lap and tell him how good he's been (he lied!)
Watch out for the crazy boy on the road! He doesn't steer too well...daddy still needs to help, but he has the gas pedal figured out! Good thing we have a 3rd car garage for our 2 year old's truck!
Jackson on the other hand said hello to Santa when he first walked in the door, but when Santa suggested he sit on Santa's lap the floodgates opened and Jackson lost his marbles. He sat on mommy's lap while all the others visited with Santa and slowly started to warm up. He told Santa thanks for all his presents on Christmas morning, but that he still wanted a tractor.
He got brave enough to move to the couch with his security blanket and give a cheesy smile for the camera.
Santa was okay after he gave Jackson a big tractor out of his gift bag. Then he was brave enough to take candy from Santa. He still REFUSED to sit on his lap and would start crying if anyone mentioned it. Needless to say we dropped the issue and did not say another word to keep the peace.
Then he dug into his stocking. He got more candy and a package of big boy underwear (which we are not ready for yet, but it's nice to have them on hand)
The favorite stocking gift was a pair of Elmo PJ's which he wore that night!

Christmas morning
Santa was very good to Jack. His favorite toy was a Thomas the train set. He would open a present and play with it for a while and then open another. It took a while to get through all of them, but he thought he hit the lottery!
Christmas Eve
Christmas at the Zoo
Visiting Santa
Jackson loves the idea of Santa, but DID NOT want to sit on his lap this year. It's a short video, but you get the idea of what our picture with Santa looked like this year.
