Christmas Eve

I have to start this post by saying that our first Christmas as a family of three was amazing and more special than I ever knew it could be. Christmas Eve kicked off our Christmases (Mr. and I both have divorced parents, so we have a lot of them). We spent the day at home finishing up the holiday preparations. That evening we went to a children's service at a church and Jackson was so good! I am hoping that we can start taking him to church regularly. The end of the service was candlelight and we sang Silent Night. Mr. and I held our son and cried tears of joy.


After church we headed to Mr.'s mom and step dad's house to eat and open lots of presents. Mr. got a bike (his dad got us a bike carrier for Jackson), we got a video camera and Jackson got tons of toys!


We came home and Jackson wore his very first Christmas pajamas and took pictures under our tree. He is our gift from God.
