Christmas in November

Since we won't see Aunt Arla and Uncle Scott again before Christmas we decided to celebrate Christmas with them Saturday morning. I pulled out a small tree and Aunt Arla did the rest. Here's Missy K checking out all the beautiful packages.Even though it was small Jackson was fascinated by the tree and kept pointing at it.Missy K exclaiming "WOW!!!" as she opened her big gift from Aunt Arla and Uncle Scott. After her loud exclamation we asked what it was and she exclaimed "I don't know!!!" lol :)Here was my view of the "WOW!!!" (the last picture was from Aunt Arla's camera)Here she is trying to see what it is. She just kept going in circles. Still excited about it even though she can't see all her new Disney princesses.At least Missy K could inspect her new dolls! Uncle Scott volunteered to help Missy K get all of the princesses out of their box.Daddy received a Packer cheese tie among other goodies for Christmas. :)The girls and I all three received cheeseheads - yay! :) Reagan especially loved the hat and wore it for the rest of the morning. :)With a bit of encouragement Jackson eventually began to open gifts too. He loved this little tractor set with farmer and animals. When you set them in the tractor or wagons they make the appropriate noise.Aunt Arla kept trying to get Jackson interested in his other gifts but everytime she trie to get him to open something new he just set his new animals down on top of the gift. It was so funny! lol :)Once we finally helped/convince him to open the rest of his gifts he was pretty excited about his large tractor and wagon too.Jackson had a blast playing in the garbage bag with all the wrapping paper with Aunt ArlaAunt Arla and Uncle Scott gave Reagan a new American Girl Doll for Christmas. Reagan insisted the bow on the hat should be in the front. Everytime we saw it we discreetly turned it around and everytime Reagan sees it (even now 3 weeks later) she turns it right back around to the way she thinks it should be. lol :)I love this picture Aunt Arla took of Jackson and me - I love this sweet baby boy! :)After being a sweet baby boy for a while Jackson decided it was time for another donut. He walked into the kitchen and stood pointing to the counter where he knew the donuts were.When we didn't respond he got a little upset. I'm telling you this boy has a temper!!! Don't worry though, once he had a donut in hand all was right with the world again. lol :)After we were officially finished with our Christmas celebrations we moved on to Missy K's birthday. What can I say? It was a busy morning here! We didn't have birthday cake so we had birthday pizza instead. :)Missy K loved all her birthday presents and this horse (which neighs and moves it's mouth) is a favorite of everyone's at present. :)Including Daddy who was very silly with Missy K's new horseBusy baking our favorite Apple/Pear Pie for our leaf jumping party later in the day

Thank you for the amazing Christmas and Birthday celebration Aunt Arla and Uncle Scott!
