The Jackson Fam in SLC

For Christmas this year the extended Jackson family did something a little different. A trip to Boondocks, the Hilton in SLC, a little sub-for-santa, the Utah Symphony, and lots of fun! The typical presents were replaced by these activites and we thought it was definitely a good swap. Libby's favorite part of the weekend was playing with her cousin Emma at Boondocks. "We won a lot of tickets!" she says.

Noelles favorite part was riding the elevators at the Hotel. Unfortunately I didn't snap a photo of that. I did, however, capture the kiddos playing trains in the hotel lobby. We were waiting to check in and they weren't about to waste precious playing time.
The swimming was a close second, as far as favorites go, for both girls.

It wouldn't be an official Jackson party without a Howard Montana appearance!

I was in charge of the Nativity and I wasn't sure how to do that with 17 kids (some extras from the sub-for-santa family we had with us). So, I made puppets. It went over pretty well. Definitely a lot less headache for everyone.
