This year we celebrated Christmas in Houston with Tio Stephen, (Jack's brother) in his brand new place.
The boys were SO excited to see everyone and Jackson was especially excited to see Stephen. He lovessss him.
Both Jackson and James were spoiled rotten by Grammy, Pops, Tio Stephen and Tia Caitlin. They loved their gifts and have enjoyed playing with them every day since they received them.
We drove back to Austin Christmas day because we heard that Santa Claus had left the boys' gifts at the house even though they weren't there!
Opening gifts was quite a spectacle. Combined with the gifts that they had received in Houston, Jackson and James came out with quite the loot!
Dada did too!
and maybe Momma did as well :)
The boy's loved all of their presents and thank each and every one of you (and Santa Claus) for them.
After everything was said and done Jack and I cleaned up and put everything away. When we came back to check on the boys they were just sitting in the dining room playing happily with their toys and each other. It was really sweet to watch. They were in such a trance...
That night when we put them down Jackson said to me, "Momma, I love all my presents but Santa didn't bring me my bike. My red bike. James got his bike, Santa didn't bring mine". It was so sad!
Apparently Santa (and Mrs. Claus) completely forgot about Jackson's 'big gift' at Santa's office. Not to worry though, we called Santa and asked him if he wouldn't mind swinging back around the next day and dropping of Jackson's bike. He was such a good little boy after all and he deserved it for being so sweet.
The following day we heard the doorbell ring and rushed to see who was there. Turns out Santa followed through and left Jackson's bike on the front porch!
Jackson was so confused, he opened the door and completely ignored the bike and instead was looking for Santa. We had to explain to him he had already left and then (and only then) did Jackson jump on his bike and rode it inside.
He was so elated and Baby James was of course so happy for his brother. James had felt bad since he had gotten a bike (aka small walker) and his brother had not.
See this Christmas had a happy ending ;) Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and Santa didn't forget anyone's gifts! Merry Christmas!
