Shooting Hoops!

My Grandmother gave Jackson a basketball goal for Christmas…and he LOVES it! He is a natural athlete I think…the minute his daddy got it all set up, Jackson got to dunking! He is actually pretty darn good too. We even have some video of him shooting (and making the basket) from WAY back!

 

Jackson’s Christmas Pictures – 2012

We take a super cute Christmas picture each year to make the annual “Jackson Christmas Ornament”…and here is this year’s winner!

I can hardly stand it, I love that smile so much! J

And here is a very close runner up! It was definitely a contender, but unfortunately, you couldn’t see his Christmas tree.

And…third runner up. Still super cute, don’t you think?

Lumber Jack! J

Although Jackson is super-cute and he makes these photo shoots LOOK easy….they are NOT! It takes some serious coaxing and a lot of luck to finally get the shot I want! (And to be completely honest, this time it took a lot of help from his daddy!)

Here are a few outtakes…of refusal to wear the hat! At least he is smiling in those. I will refrain from posting the rest…they are so not very nice!

 

Jackson's Christmas artwork!

Good job buddy! :)

"Basket"ball!!

Not exactly the "basket" we were referring to Jackson! :)

Hot Wheel Love!

Jackson loves him some Hot Wheels! Loves them! It seems that a boy can never have enough cars! :)

Outside boy!

No matter how cold it is, or how red those cheeks get...my boy loves to be outside!

"Look Mom! No hands!!"

Only my child!
Running around the house carrying his chair...in his TEETH!
Oh boy! :)

Laundry Basket Drummin'!

My boy may not be the best "helper" when it comes to doing laundry...but he sure does make it fun! :)

Kroger "Tacky" Christmas Party!

So, the pharmacy decided to have a "Tacky Christmas Sweater Party" this year...and it was so much fun!




"Tacky" Family Picture!
Do we look good, or what?! :)
We are all sporting Goodwill finds!

Loving Jackson's tacky sweater vest! :)

He had so much fun playing upstairs at Melissa's house with all the kids!

And he got some pretty cool presents! Here is Jackson reading his train book!



Here's a look at the rest of the crew! Very tacky! :)

We also had a contest for the "best dressed"...and the winners are:

1st prize: Amanda
2nd prize: Beth
3rd prize: Anthony

But, I still think Jason got robbed! He was the "Tackiest" in my opinion! :)

Looking good! :)
