jackson's 1st christmas

jackson got to see lots of family this year for christmas. the weekend before christmas we headed to newberg, oregon to visit my side of the family. it was a busy weekend with no good naps for the wee one (at least he slept well at night), but we had fun and of course the family was excited to see jackson and couldn't believe how he's grown since they saw him last.

before heading home on christmas eve, we had dad's traditional christmas omelets...the best you'll find anywhere! we then flew home (jackson did great on both flights!), with just enough time to make it to christmas eve service followed by our traditional german dinner of knackwurst and potato salad and opening presents at oma and opa's. then, we came home for yet another tradition...opening our christmas eve pj's.

christmas morning, we opened our stockings and headed to eric's parents for cinnamon twists and bacon...yummy! and more presents.

jackson will get to see his grammy and papa in seattle in a couple weeks. he's really excited to meet him papa for the 1st time! he'll also get to meet his friend, caleb, who was born just 12 days before him!

then it's time to get back to some sort of routine (and hopefully better napping!)
