I'm back...

I am making blogging a New Years resolution. I am going to try my best to post something once a month. How hard can that be? Probably hard for someone like me, but I promise to try.

Now onto blogging....


Christmas was great this year. Jackson was way more alert and excited to play with his toys. Jared and I decided to have our Christmas on Christmas Eve morning at our house since we normally go the the Durham's and spend the night on Christmas Eve. It was so much fun! We woke Jackson up around 7:30am and headed into the living room. The first thing he saw was his new Pillow Pet, a duck, NOT the huge red wagon the duck was sitting in.. His response "Duhhh" "quack quack". So cute! After opening presents we spent the day relaxing. We decided to go the the Durham's a little earlier than we normally do. So we packed up and headed over there around 3:30pm. Here are some pictures from "our" Christmas.









Next Christmas with the Durham's. This year was awesome. We were very surprised what Santa brought. My father-in-law and brother-in-law, I mean Santa, worked very hard the last couple weeks on two of Jackson's presents. When we walked our into the living room we were greeted with a LIFE SIZE rocking horse and a special pirates chest. Serioulsy, y'all this is the biggest rocking horse i have ever seen. The pictures do not do it justice. Anyways, after all the fun present opening we had our big Durham breakfast and lounged around the rest of the day. This year was very hard on me since this would be the first year not seeing my parents in 30 years. So sad! For those of you who don't know, my parents moved to San Antonio two weeks before Christmas. By the end of the day we were tired and ready to go home. Here are some pictures of the Durham Christmas. I will have to post pictures of the two handmade items when we get them delivered to our house. Sorry not very many pictures.




Last but not least, the Clark Christmas. We decided to leave right after I got off work on New Years Eve to head to San Antonio. Man, what a long drive it is when you have a kid. Our once 4 1/2 hour drive took 6 HOURS! Long story short we had a wonderful time there with the whole Clark gang. We celebrated Christmas NYE night and then brought in the New Year and went to bed. We are so blessed to have two amazing families to spend the holidays with. We love them all so much!
