Merry Christmas!

I know I'm late. Blogging is just one of those things I put off because it sounds way more painful than it actually is. It really doesn't take three hours to post; I just think it does. And once I get some spare time, the LAST thing I want to do is waste it blogging. But, I'm a horrible journal keeper and I need to print this thing out so I don't have to scrapbook, so I keep chugging along!

Here is our Christmas vacation! It was so much fun. I loved getting away for a couple weeks. When we booked it we thought two weeks sounded like forever, but it went by way too fast!

Pictures with a little commentary:

THIS IS NOT A FLASH MOB! It's just the whole Jackson family!

Beach Time! Zack L-O-V-E-D the beach this year. His favorite part "jumping in the waves with Papa, Manda, Gweg, and Cam"

Eating treats on the beach. This, unsurprisingly, was my favorite part of the beach.

Here is our sand castle that took Todd and I hours to build, and Zack seconds to crush. :(

Our room, right before Brody's death fall. Yep. He rolled off the bed onto tile floor. Mother Of The Year, here I come!!!!!

A stroll at the park. I love how everything is so green!

Zack's first piano lesson:

Zack eating an entire can of Spaghetti O's. And from the looks of it, perhaps a small child. :)

Love at first sight for these two:One of my favorite things to do in Brazil! Go to the fruit market and pick out some fruit. It's all so fresh and yummy looking. Check out the fatty grapes!

After you get all the fruit you want, head over to the food bar and get a (spelling will be totally off) pastel and acia! So good!

Finally Christmas! The boys in their new pajamas!
Greg helping Zack with the puppet version of the Christmas story. Probably the best version I have heard.
Opening presents!
Cam helping Zack play Silent Night on the bells.That's it for now! Brody has successfully turned his rice cracker into paste and ground it into the carpet. Cute kid!!!!
