We spent this year in Arizona for Christmas.
Jackson loves driving to Arizona so he was pretty excited about Christmas here.
We went to Carrabas for dinner (per tradition) and then they let Jackson open up one gift the night before per our tradition. He thought he would be opening the Wii but Brady quickly changed the wrapping of it so when Jackson opened the juggling balls, he was a little bummed out. Then we went right into more of the Nielsen Family traditions where the adults act out the nativity scene! It's pretty funny to act it all out as if we were kids. After we sang Christmas songs, had a snowball fight, put on our matching pajamas Brenda picked out for everyone and then I tucked little man to sleep so Santa could come. He was so excited and so was I to be apart of his Christmas 2013.
Christmas morning was so exciting. Brenda set up stockings, Santa gifts, and fun things like that. We opened gifts all morning which isn't usual for us, but it was fun to have everyone take their time for gifts. Jackson got a bike, Skylanders, a air hockey set and a lot of fun things.
When we drove back home, we had New Years Eve at the Devines. We played games and were team USA. We actually won the whole thing! When we got home, the Nielsens were sleeping over. We woke up early and went to the Rose Bowl Parade. I was pregnant here and really sick so it wasn't a pleasant day walking around with lots of people when I wanted to just throw up everywhere. Elise is also pregnant too. We were only 2 weeks apart. I ended up miscarrying in May of 2014.
