Christmas is now a memory...

Alex at his 2nd grade class Christmas party...pump 'em full of sugar and send 'em home! Yippee!
At the ward Christmas party...it was all 'cool' having Santa just sitting in a room waiting for US! Just look at Jackson beam! The boy on the far left is Alex's friend, Hunter.
A little sledding...

A little Christmas Eve game pinata decorating...it's Rudolph! (Caught in the headlights of a truck!)
And let the Christmas Eve game begin! Mitchell testing out one of Alex's prizes...a Baker Bulldog hat...YES!

Some swingin' at Rudolph...it was tough but all that anticipation for the break was fantastic!
Alex giving it his best shot...
A little pictionary...Jackson was supposed to draw Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus...isn't that awesome!?
Christmas morning...we've got some tired puffy eyes!
Who could be more jazzed about a Marvel comics puzzle?
Time for a Christmas afternoon nap...
Jackson and Mitchell loving their trucks from Grandma and Grandpa Alexander...they move on their own and Mitchell thinks that is the coolest thing!

THIS is Alex's Marble Mania...yeah, Ken thought they'd build it right in the middle of the floor with Mitchell trying to join the fun. Three hours and an ulcer later...VOILA! And no missing parts, if you can believe it!

What a fantastic holiday...I need a nap!

Wow! This post is great! LOVE Jackson's nativity, LOVE the puffy eyes, and LOVE LOVE LOVE the marble mania--that made me laugh so hard. And what a miracle that you didn't lose any pieces. What a good dad!

You have an absolutely adorable family, Jill.
It's so fun to see how different everyone's traditions are. You're a fun mom...I can tell. I'm working on that... :)

Thank for the nice comment you left on my blog. I'd love to catch up with you!
