Christmas Eve with the Jacksons

Another first for Mike and me...Brooke invited

us to spend the night with them Christmas Eve,

and it seemed like a fine idea since Mom didn't want

to stay over and we were going to be alone.

So after dinner at Bonsai, we headed to

Apple Cross Way.

I love how Brooke decorates her tree with

all the Christmas cards she gets!

And there was the traditional opening of

the Chrsitmas pajamas!


Gus-Gus is the new addition this
year....and NOT to be left out,
he grabbed a marker and
was helping with writing the
note to Santa!

Hugs good-night and they were

off to bed! Mike was coming down with

something so it was a long night for him. :(

We spent a few hours doing last minute

wrapping and watching a little Law and Order.

But morning came pretty early and

what a delight to be there for the

girls excitement!

The Hair-Stylin' Station was a huge hit!

We had a bit of a Poppy Flop but

quickly recovered. This is a very

high-pressure time of year for

a 2 year old!!

Handy Manny to the rescue!

Pillow Pet for comfort and relaxation!

These two cuties will have hours of fun

working on each other at the stylin' station!

Brooke put together a fantastic Christmas Breakfast

and then the girls were ready for a nap.

We had a GREAT time with the Jackson

family. Thanks so much for including us!

XOXO
