Okay . . . get ready for lots of pictures and long blogs over the next few days. I've been sick and so has Jax . . . so I haven't even loaded up our Christmas pictures yet! These first pictures are from the actual day of Jax ' birthday. His Daddy came in the door from work with a cupcake with a candle lit! Jax had NEVER had chocolate before. He loved it, of course (he is his momma's boy)! His birthday party was Saturday the 12 th . We just invited immediate family. I think everyone had a great time! My cousin, Wendy, made the cake.

Jax did really good sitting in Santa's lap. I was not surprised that he was very curious, and was more interested in looking at Santa than the camera. I could see the little questions filling up his head already . . . Are you really Santa Claus? Boldly asked the little tot. I truly think you are, But someone said you’re not. Did your elves make all the toys? Can your reindeer really fly? Do you know when I’ve been good? Do you know when I tell a lie? How do you make it all around, Christmas Eve to everyone?

So we went to the Hollywood Cafe in Tunica. I used to go there all the time . . . a place of my twenties . . . and w...
