Christmas with the Jacksons

The Abilene crew was sick last week which delayed our December 23rd traditions until today.  We didn't have time for all our normal traditions (birthday cake for Jesus, driving around to see Christmas lights, and watching Elf), but we did have time to eat, visit, and open presents!  We also found time to play a little Xbox Minute to Win It ;)

I wish I had on video the expression on Brody's face when he opened his present from Grammy.  She gave him a baseball that was autographed by Craig Gentry.  It's like he was so excited that he was trying to reign it all in and not let it show.  It looked like his cheeks were gonna burst as he tried to contain his grin!  He kept saying, "Craig Gentry has touched this baseball!!!" 

Barrett was equally as excited (although he let his excitement show) about the RC truck that Grammy gave him!  He was a little disappointed that the battery had to charge for 8 hours, so he set the truck on manual and played with it anyways.
