Christmas at the Pisko's

Since we are going to be out of town in Edmonton at Amanda's parent's place for Christmas and probably New Years, we went to my parent's place tonight for a Christmas dinner and to open presents with my family. All my family, with the exception of my little sister were there. Jaxon had fun playing in the basement with his cousin Hayden waiting for dinner to start. He is just starting to realize his musical potential. Here he is with some Cymbals he found.

Here everyone is gathering around the tree while Jaxon takes the presents to everyone to open. If you look closely, it looks like it is snowing at my parent's place...It's either a Christmas miracle or else it really means that I have to clean my camera lens.

Jaxon finally gets the hang of opening presents. At first he just wanted to give the presents away to everyone else. Then when we told him that they presents were for him to open, he only wanted to play with the first present he opened and couldn't care less about the other ones.

The one present Jaxon got that he just loves is this Optimash Prime Mr. Potato Head Transformer figurine. He carried that thing around the whole night wherever he went. He didn't even care to take it out of the box. He just wanted to carry it around by the handle.

Here's another toy from the past that Jaxon got this year. A Lite Brite! My sister had one of these growing up. They were so much fun to play with.

We had a really good dinner that we prepared and took out to Okotoks. And a good time visiting with the family. We'll be leaving tomorrow to go to Beaumont for the holidays. It should be a fun time... I hear Amanda's mom has gone overboard this year.
