Christmas morning came a DAY early for the U-crew.
We celebrated Christmas morning on Christmas Eve morning.
The Hillman's were leaving right after the present opening so they could get back to their house to do their Christmas traditions there.
We always have cinnamon caramel rolls, which are AMAZING!
As you can see Nolan really enjoyed this TABLE!
Jackson was dressed and ALL ready to open some presents.
He was so excited to get Christmas started!
Here is a shot of the tree and presents.
Jackson always looks at James like he is crazy!
Don't worry Jackson...HE IS CRAZY!
The first present Jackson opened was from his Aunt Kati.
She gave him his first Texas ABC book.
PERFECT! He loved it!
Harvey gave Dad a Forever Lazy!
Are you kidding me?
Richie was the first to try it on!
I gave Kati a New Kids on the Block puzzle that I got from DI!
It was 75 cents and I could not pass up that deal and was shocked that so many people did pass it up! What are they thinking?
Jackson got a puzzle of his very own.
And he also got undressed.
That PJ outfit is WAY warm.
He also got a way cute hat made by my sister, Elizabeth.
Gosh! I love it so much.
When my sister Kati saw it she said, "You even put on the Nike Swoosh."
Elizabeth and the rest of us replied..."OR HIS MOUTH, KATI!!"
It was quite funny.
Now I definitely have a little Minion of my own!
Ok...after all of the presents were opened Harvey came down in a Forever Lazy of his very own. Apparently it was a buy one get one free deal.
Jackson fit right in with his hooded PJs!!!

Logan went ahead and kept Jackson entertained for quite sometime with this flashlight.
We were all pretty tired after the early morning Christmas present opening.
The rest of the day on Christmas "morning" was spent just relaxing.
We played a round of Things that night.
It was Richie's present to DaD.
It is a pretty good Group game.
The next day for Christmas it was a pretty low key day.
We went to church at 11:00 and then went to the Fire Station and Police Station to drop off a plate of goodies for them. We thanked them for working on Christmas day and for their on going service to the community. They were all very thankful for the nice thought.

This is us dropping the plate off at the Police Station.
That night we had an amazing dinner prepared by Mom.
Turkey, sweet potatoes, veggies, rolls and so on.
Yum Yum!

After dinner we headed DOWNTOWN.
Dad was driving the TAXI boat on the river, so we went down to ride it and spend some time with Daddy! It was so fun to be on the river and see all of the Christmas decorations and lights.
And of course to be with my family and see DAddy-o!

It was a bit cold that night.
We made sure to bundle Jackson up tight.

Jackson was way excited to be on the boat and to see his Dja-Dja!
A pic of us on the Taxi with the coolest Boat captain EVER...MY DAD!
They changed the way they did the lights this year on the river.
It isn't quite as MYSTICAL and MAGICAL as it was in the past...
BUT, it was still absolutely BREATH taking to see ALL of those lights on the trees.
It looked absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
We had a great Christmas celebration.
It was, of course, GREAT to be with the family.
It was pretty relaxing and very enjoyable.
So glad we were able to come home to Texas for the holiday!

You'd think the buy one get one free would've been a clue to Harvey...
I LOVE that y'all took goodies to the police and firemen! I want to do that now.
