I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas

Our Christmas was definitely white!!! How beautiful is New England in the winter! These snow pictures are of the Rife's home in Massachusetts where we spent almost 2 weeks for our Christmas vacation.




Jackson and I got sweet winter hats from Aunt Nicole. Now the whole family has matching hats.
We were all outside plowing the drive way and having fun in the snow. Jackson enjoyed the snow too.

We got a little sledding in too.
Dogs...Dogs...and more Dogs.
The Rifes are dog lovers! We had four dogs total and they are so cute. Ruby (the dog on the right) loved Jackson. When he cried she would come over and make sure he was ok. She also loved giving him kisses on the feet and on his head.
Benton is a new addition to the family. We had two 4 month old babies around the house...Jackson and Benton
We had many fun Christmas adventures while at the Rife's

Reading...we got some great children's books
Opening presents... Jack fell asleep during the gift opening but mom and dad are grateful for all the clothes and toys!
Candle pin bowling which was a first for me.
Spending time with... Aunt Nicole and Mr. Teddy bear
Uncle Jason
Uncle Jeremy
and even Darth Vader showed up for Christmas.
Jack also spent lots of time is Grandma Rife, who was so excited to have here first grand baby home for Christmas! Thanks Grandma Rife for all you did!!
Developmentally Jackson made some gains over the holidays. He started by arching his back a lot why we were gone. Today he rolled over from his back to his stomach!We are proud parents.
We hope you all had a Merry Christmas too!

Baby Jackson is such a long, lean, CUTE machine! It looks like you had a marvelous time! (But I admit I missed you 3!) I love the snow! Makes me want to get snowed in somewhere for a few weeks myself...a fire and a few good books and games and people I love...sounds great! Anyway, I'll have to give you a call soon! Best wishes for the new year!
