MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christmas Eve was the annual Jackson Christmas Party! But earlier in the day we went up Middle Canyon and pulled the kids behind the four-wheeler on the sleds. We were late getting up there and the rest of the family was coming down off the mountain, because my brother in law Mat slice is finger open and had to go get stitches. So we loaded up our kids and two of the cousins and headed back up the canyon. The girls had a blast sledding and playing in the snow. After sledding we came home had some hot cocoa and took naps. Then we headed to the clubhouse for dinner and white elephant. It was so much fun the food was awesome. White elephant was a little hard for Zada and Maya, because people continued to take their gifs. Zada cried and cried when her cousin Andrew tried to take her gift of a Hannah Montana wig, so he gave it back and picked something else. May had bubbles and it got taken twice so it was froze she tried so hard to get them back. But Aunt Emily was nice enough to give them to her at the end of the game. She was so happy. After the party we all came home cleaned up and the girls opened their Christmas Eve gifts. Ornaments, Jammies and their Movie. We got Night at the Museum 2. We watched it and then the girls were tucked in bed all warm and snuggly. So Santa could finish getting things ready for the night.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! The holiday was great and the girls made out like bandits. Thanks so much to a very special family member! We spent our day here at the house watching the girls with their new gifts and sleeping which is my fav! The most exciting gift for the girls was when dad brought out a halter and a lead rope! Sara just started bawling cause she new she was getting a horse. We were able to get the girls a 4-H horse and she is awesome. Her name is Christmas Bell and we are going to call her Bell she is a mustang mare and she is so sweet. We took the girls to the barn and let them ride and groom her they had so much fun!
I would like to Thank Aunt Beth for the gifts she sent form England. The girls are excited to have a spa day. We would also like to let everyone know we are thankful for their thoughts at this time of the year and we so enjoyed seeing and receiving Christmas cards. We love all of you and we hope the Holidays were wonderful to you!
