Christmas Morning

Christmas morning was quite humorous to me this year. Scott woke up at 5am and couldn't go back to sleep, he was so excited to see Jaxson's reaction when he woke up that morning. At around 6:45 he decides to set up our video camera to catch it on tape, so he spends some time getting that set up. There were only 13 minutes of tape left, so every 13 minutes he'd reset the tape. Over the next hour he flew paper airplanes into Jaxson's room, threw Angry Bird type toys down the hall...all in an attempt to get him to wake up. But no luck...Jaxson woke up close to 8:30. So think of that time Scott spent over the previous hours pacing the house, preparing the camera and just bursting in excitement for that moment that Jaxson would wake up. Seriously the funniest thing to me...I slept through almost all of this!

Santa was very good to Jaxson and he really enjoyed his new toys. The one specific request to Santa was a guitar...boy am I glad that thing is more in tune now. Ear piercing, cringing sounds that would make your eyes water! He sure looks cute focusing on "playing" and showing off his "skills".

We had a great time watching him open his gifts from us and see the excitement on his face with each gift.



He made this cute little keepsake at school for us!

Christmas with kids is so much fun, they really bring that spirit back into the day that is so easily lost the older you get. I'm sure we'll have many more Christmas mornings where Scott is up before the kids, and I'm sure the stories will be just as great. I sure do love that we never have a dull moment in this house!
