Jackson's First Boxing Day

Boxing Day is a British holiday celebrated the day after Christmas. Typically, we spend the day with the MacGregors enjoying lunch, good company, and sometimes a family activity (like a walk or game). This year, we changed up our Christmas routines a bit and celebrated Christmas on the 26th instead. Christmas Part 2 was just as wonderful as Christmas Part 1. We dressed Jackson up in his Santa outfit so the MacGregors could enjoy it like the Stockmans did.

Jackson can't make it through lunch. This is the first time he's ever fallen asleep like this.

Jackson playing with his favorite present. He started playing with it before we took it out of the box. When we took it away to take it out of the box for him, he threw his first little fit.

We had two wonderful Christmas Days and are very blessed to have all the wonderful family and friends that we do. We love you all!

Great pics!!! Loved the one of Jackson asleep in his high chair... to much Christmas fun! Are those HO HO HO pjs the ones I sent? Because if so, I got them for $1.99 in the middle of summer! What a bargain!! So glad they can be used in the right season as Neil wore them in the summertime!! :) Looked like a fun day!
