The final part to our special Christmas-y Tuesday in December was family pictures and Alex's birthday dinner. We decided to try to go see Santa Clause at Bass Pro shop and get some family pictures taken so we could have something to put in the Christmas cards.
Gigi and Papa, Poop, and Bare and Chad all came to celebrate with us.
Charlotte wanted Gigi to take her to see Santa.
She had said she would talk to him and sit on his lap. However, when the time came, Nervous Nelly clammed right on up and wouldn't have anything to do with Santa.
So here is our Santa picture for 2013. Cheetah Gigi, Nervous Nelly, Santa, Scared Toddler, and a Hoodlum.
Merry Christmas.
Our closest attempt at just Santa and the kids.
The Jacksons :)
Gigi and Papa and their sweet grandbabies.
We love that they change their schedules to make it to important stuff like this.
Our Christmas Card Picture. Merry Christmas from the Jacksons.
We love that Uncle Poop comes to all important events too.
Sawyer was shook up after Santa. He saw Papa from across the Christmas displays and ran across the store to him. So cute.
Charlotte just didn't know what to think about Santa or his elves. She didn't cry though.... so that was good.
After pictures, we all headed to the restaurant in Bass Pro shop. It was delicious. We celebrated Alex's birthday. We brought him his presents. We all enjoyed just hanging out. The kids loved the environment.
Mary and Chad enjoyed their meal :)
Goose got up and roamed around a bunch...but after a day with no nap, she was still really good.
Crazy, busy boy. He climbed all over everything and refused to stay in his seat. We shipped him down to Gigi's end of he table.
To pass the time while everyone finished, the kids and I headed over to check out the bowling balls.
Uncle Chad loves these two babies so much :)
Before leaving, we went and checked out the huge aquarium. We could spend all day there. The kids love it.
The best picture I could get of crazy. She was all over the place!
Bare and Buddy :) And a real stuffed Bare.
It was a SUPER exhausting day BUT it was a SUPER productive day. We loved our day. Our house smells like a fresh Christmas tree and the stockings are hung on the media storage shelves with care :) Alex had a great birthday dinner. He loved having everyone together. Great food, amazing people, awesome memories.
