I gave Mary a sweatshirt for Christmas that said, "Life is better with my boys". I think she would agree that Christmas is better with her boys. Jackson, Mark and the new little foster baby! The baby's birth mother's parental rights were terminated a few weeks ago so it appears that he will become a permanent part of our family. I couldn't be happier! Hopefully before too long we can share his cute face on social media.
Poor little guy had RSV for Christmas. His fever finally broke and the meds helped so I think he did enjoy the excitement.
The Reynolds family has the tradition of going out to eat on Christmas Eve. I love that these boys have so many Reynolds cousins plus a Nana and aunts and uncles on that side of the family.
Back at home Jackson carefully lined up carrots to lead Santa's reindeer to his house. Pretty smart!
And laid out more carrots and a cookie for the jolly old gentleman himself!
From the looks of their living room, the carrots worked and toys were in abundance!
Jackson is following in his Uncle Johnny's footsteps with a love of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Uncle Johnny even parted with his vintage hat from the 1st Turtle Movie.
That is quite a sacrifice. Johnny's had that hat since he was 5 years old and went to see the movie - way back in 1990.
"HEROES IN A HALF-SHELL! TURTLE POWER!"
Mary spends a lot of time playing games with Jackson.
I hope he enjoys the Mousetrap game and that it isn't too frustrating.
Mary reports that Jackson's favorite toy is his racetrack.
It does look amazing and like something he and Daddy will enjoy together.
When we can't be together for Christmas, I am so thankful for a thoughtful son-in-law and daughter who share lots of photos. And for Facetime so I can almost feel like I am there.
