Today we had a great Christmas! This morning we took the time to open Jackson and Tiger's stockings with them. Tiger wasn't exactly thrilled, but she has already taken to playing with some of her mice.
Jackson was super excited! He completely understood the concept of a stocking and jumped around every time we reached into his stocking. 
He loves the snail toy that we gave him, who now has been named Mortimer, (don't ask me why, it just fits.) 
And we also gave him some REI Ruff Wear booties and socks to replace his trashed Muttlucks. I can't wait to use them! He spent the rest of the morning in his "Snowboarder Pup" Sweatshirt that he loves to curl up in.
After that we went to Derek's dads house for a couple minutes to give them the present we made them. An "Emergency Weather Kit" that was a cheeky little chest filled with a puzzle, crosswords, sudoku, popcorn and cocoa. A perfect assortment for a lazy rainy day. They gave us our stocking, and it had cute little knick-knacks in it.Then we went to Derek's mom's house to celebrate Christmas. Paige loved her pottery wheel, and Dante will be thrilled with his Build-A-Bear gift card. Sarah and Preston gave us a gift eerily similar to the one we gave them. Basically a date night with gift cards to favorite restaurants and a movie. Derek's little brother, Quinton gave us shelving for the garage, which admittedly we just finished assembling. I love it!!!! I'll be taking a bunch of empty boxes from the garage to the trash compactor at work tomorrow.
After the festivities at his mom's we headed over to my dad's. He had a delicious dinner ready for us, or at least his fiance, Lisa does. I love those two goofballs so much. Lacy was there too and we all opened up our Stockings....we always get such good treats! I was glad to see so much of the family on positive terms today.
