Jackson is 1!!!!

It's Jackson's birthday today, and he is 1 year old! Yesterday was Sunday and since my mom left for Missouri this morning, we celebrated a little last night!
First up chocolate cake!!!















Funny story: we put a single candle on the cake and sang to him, and I helped blow out the candle. As soon as the flame was out he got terrified and ran away. I guess the action of blowing out the candle terrifies him, because I did it again later and he ran away crying.

Anyways he also got to open a present:) that was fun! I didn't get a picture, but you get the idea!
All in all, it was a pretty good day!!! I can't believe my baby is one today! Seems like just yesterday he came home from the hospital with me! I love him so much:)

Candy canes

As you can see from my previous post, Jackson did not like Santa Clause. In fact he was terrified! The only thing that made it better was that Santa gave him a candy cane:) he's never seen or eaten a candy cane before, but he knew it was candy!!! He tried to devour it through the wrapper, and when I showed him how to take the wrapper off, there was no going back. He was covered in peppermint slobber! He loves them.
So I guess it's no surprise that he would try to take the fake candy canes off our Christmas tree and try to eat them! he gets mad when I take them away because they are plastic and he gets sad. I keep telling him they are fake, but he just wants one so bad he keeps going back for more:)
Anyway that's my story for today, hope it makes you smile:)

Oh and P.S.--Jackson turns one in exactly one week!!! December 13th is going to be a dream come true for my little man! Presents and cake! Who can refuse that?!

Friday recap:)

Last night me and Danny put up the Christmas tree!!!! Yay



Then after Danny got off work this evening we went to our ward Christmas party!
Danny sat on Santa's lap



And got candy....



Jackson had a hard time...



He thought Santa was so scary! poor thing:(
Other than Jax being sad about Santa, we had a pretty sweet time! Now Jax is sound asleep, and I'm playing games:)
