Annual Jackson Birthday/Christmas Celebration!

This year we all stayed at the Staybridge Suites in West Valley.  It was fantastic.  A water park was attached to the building and the kids were in heaven.  My camera fogged up whenever we went into the water park area, so I don't have any photos.  No photo proof, but lots of eye witnesses to attest to the fact that Grandpa Jack went down the water slide!  That man is good!  Here we are all gathered in Grandma and  Grandpa's room to celebrate everyone's birthday.

Libby is enjoying a piece of Grandma's famous cake roll.

Bryn in her jammies and cute as ever.

Noelle was spoiled by Grandma with all sorts of gluten free goodies.  She is happy!

Grandma is always good to play a game with the kids.  Here, they are playing one of our favorites, "Spot It".

Each family had their own suite to stay in.  They were deluxe!  The girls favorite part was Millie's crib because it was on wheels. They moved it from one room to the next and as you can see, even got in with her for a ride.

We went to the Festival of Trees and did a scavenger hunt there.  It was great fun and there were so many fun things to see.  This was Ellie's favorite exhibit.  You can see an "Elf on the Shelf" in the background taking a bath in marshmallows!  Ellie loves our Elf on the Shelf, Guster.

Millie was such a good girl.  She loves being on her daddy's shoulders.

Aunts & Nieces.  Michelle is so much fun at all these outings and Shalise is wonder woman.  Shalise had just had Trayson days before this gathering.  She is a go getter!

 On our "free night" we went to South Towne mall with Michelle, Reggie, & Quinn.  They got to ride the train through the mall!  Better yet, was the sushi we had before the mall.  Even Reggie was happy because there were hamburgers on the menu too!

Lots of cute stars for the nativity.

Millie loves anything soft.  Here she is cuddling with a scarf Porter was holding.

What a great looking bunch.  Love them all!

Included this picture just to prove I was there.  I was on keyboard duty for the Hymns.  When you are behind the camera, you take what you can get (uncle Scott took this picture).
