Christmas at Grandma Jackson's (Post 2)

After opening gifts at home & giving the boys time to check them all out, we headed to Grandma Jackson's home for lunch and some family time with those who live in the area. 
The boys got to bring a few toys with them. Garrett brought his new Hungry Hippos game...as you can see below, both young & old boys had fun with it. 
Grandma made the annual birthday cake for Jesus. Reece was caught sampling the icing before we sang the Happy Birthday song. 
YUM! Strawberry cake & ice cream!
On the Saturday after Christmas all the Jackson's gathered again at Grandma's (minus Brendan, who is serving in Costa Rica for the Peace Corps). We ate until we were stuffed and then Uncle (Super) Jim handed out gifts to the younger ones. 
Whoa! Look at that big box!

Another fire truck!!
Monsters University! (This was the only thing Garrett expressed disappointment over not getting from Santa. The man in red must've known Grandma had it covered!)
Once the kids finished up it was time for the adults to open gifts. Look at this little gift next to the adult pile!!
Reece & one if his favorite people: his cousin Courtney. 
After gifts we enjoyed time with family (& more food, of course!) We forgot to get a group picture this year...this is the closest to it that I have. Ha!
Only one more Christmas celebration to go...we will have a Christmas with my side of the family once my mom gets here in a few short weeks!
