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!)
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!

Spoiled boy! But you haven't seen anything yet!

Jack opened all his presents from Aunt Lynette and Uncle Lynn, but we braced him for the one big one. This is his face at the unveiling of his new powerwheels arctic cat ATV!

In hot pursuit of his new "big truck".

It was dark outside when he got it and couldn't drive it outside, so he proceeded to climb in and out of it for the next 2 hours. He would take down the tailgate and put his shovel in, then climb back in and pretend to drive. It was the first thing he asked for the next morning.


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!
