Drummer Boys

Merry Christmas!

We have been enjoying the week with the Sunder family in Ponte Vedra, FL. It was 75 yesterday and wonderful to be right on the beach. We have been fishing, touring St. Augustine and getting in the hot tub at night. Christmas morning was very exciting! Jackson and Jason both got DRUMS amoung other things! help me......

Christmas Spirit

We have been busy with Christmas activities the last couple of days. Yesterday we delivered baked goods to Jackson's teachers. Last night was The Christmas program at Jackson's school. He was a cow and did a great job. Today was his last day of school for the break and they had a big celebration. The had happy meals during their "birthday party for Jesus." Jason & I attended. Santa came by and brought gifts for all the kids so they all got to open one early. Sawyer is still snotty but has been a trooper through it all. This is his favorite sitting position. It has been a couple days of major cuteness.

Loaves and cookies...

We have been busy this week. Last Thursday we had Jason's CO and his wife & mother over for dinner. I cooked a full Thanksgiving feast since I didn't do it on Thanksgiving. The turkey came out well and Jackson helped in the kitchen. Friday night we went to a church in Ponte Vedra that reinacts the whole city of Bethlehem. It was awesome. My camera died after we got past the guards at the city gate but there were camels, merchants and of course baby Jesus. Jackson had a good time. Today I baked 5 dozen cookies and 4 loaves of banana bread for Jackson's teachers, my classmates, the coast guard guys and our neighbors. Wednesday is Jackson's last day of school and they are having a birthday party for Jesus. Jason & I are both going. Sawyer has a cold and is very snotty. Hopefully he will get over it before beach week.

Santa and a 5K

We went to see Santa today in our neighborhood. Jackson was SOOO excited. He asked for a Blue Angels Jet and a cannon gun that shoots balls. I told him Santa does not bring guns to 3 year olds but he would work on the jet. I also ran my first 5K tonight. It was fun and I am proud of myself for doing it.

Brotherly Cuteness

Griswald Christmas

We are getting ready for Christmas here in Florida. Today it was actually cool - high was only mid 70s. Jason Griswald Fealy bought 900 Christmas lights and was IN THE PALM TREES over the weekend hanging them. People go all out around here. You can see our neighbors house a mile away. We bought Jackson this penguin for the yard. We'll get one for Sawyer too when they go on sale for next year. The boys are doing well. Sawyer started clapping and it is very cute. Jackson has been playing with his neighbors every chance he gets. P.S. - That's not dirt on Jackson's face. Our neighbor Taylor drew a cat face on him in marker.
