"Action Jackson Visits Santa"



We were lucky enough for Matt to have a day off of work last week (something that never happens!) and so we made it a family Christmas extravaganza and all went to Disneyland for the day! It was crazy busy, but so much fun! We visited Disneyland and California Adventure and both places were decked for Christmas. Small World was totally transformed, which was exciting for Jackson and I since we frequent Disneyland every 3-5 weeks.



This Christmas has been especially memorable for our family since we are putting a tree up in our own home for the first time in three years! Jackson is at that age where everything excites him about the holidays and he makes everything even more joyful. He has taught himself all the words to Jingle Bells (Tinkle Bells when he sings it...) and Rudolph as well as all the songs from Curious George's Merry Christmas special. He loves looking for "God's Baby Jesus" in all of the nativity scenes that are set up for the holiday. It's amazing how much fun two can be!
Last year we visited Santa and had a total meltdown from Jackson as he was asked to sit on a strangers lap with a beard and crazy red suit. This year he marched right up to the big guy and gave him a hug and then said, "I good! I obey! I need toys!" This guy is getting the feel for this whole Christmas thing for sure.
I hope your Holidays are going well!
