Christmas Eve

Since Brian had to work, I decided to plan an outing for Jackson and me. We met Cindy and her kids at Monkey Joe's.

The kids jumped and ran around for about 2 hours.



Cindy and I were able to watch them and talk too.

After Monkey Joe's, we took the kids to McDonald's for lunch and they played some more. This was a great idea and made the morning go by so fast. By the time we got home, it was nap time!

After Jackson's nap, we got ready for church. 

I filled a bowl full of snacks for Jackson and prayed he would sit quietly through the service. 

LOVE my boy even though he is exhausting these days!



Church service was great. Jackson enjoyed the snow and candle lighting.

 Once we made it home, Jackson got to open one present. He had been waiting all day for this!

 Dino pajamas="just what he always wanted!"

 Jackson cuddled with me on the couch as we watched The Grinch, ate pizza, and waited for Daddy to come home.

 

We finished our night with sprinkling reindeer food and leaving cookies and milk out for Santa. Jackson went to bed unbelievably good so Santa would come to his house first!
