Maples Look-alike Meter

According to this "expert" face recognition software, Jackson doesn't look as much like Chris as everyone thinks!

These results will really throw Chris for a loop.....he enjoys it so much when people follow-up their statement about Jackson being "cute" with a statement that Jackson looks just like Chris. I think what Chris hears them saying is: "Damn, Chris! You're cute!"

Santa 2007

So apparently, the second time around is the charm for Jackson. After refusing to get any closer than 10 feet away on Saturday, he made it all the way to Santa's lap at daycare on Tuesday.

Twice.

Yes, twice. Apparently, one trip just wasn't enough Santa for him. He couldn't get enough Santa. Or maybe he felt like Ralphie in A Christmas Story because he "froze" and told Santa the wrong wish the first time. I don't know. But reports have it that after he went back to his daycare room from his first visit with Santa, he stood at the door and screamed/cried until daycare let him go sit on Santa's lap again. He was charming, I'm sure.

This picture is from his second trip to see Santa. Funny, from the look on his face, you would have NO IDEA that he was enjoying himself here.

Playing With the Elmo Chair

Kelly Christmas Party 2007

Uncle Billy showing Jackson how to jump off the step ladder...and not doing a very good job at it.This was as close as Jackson got to Santa. He liked watching him, but I think that the jingling bells really irriated Jackson. By the time Santa was leaving, Jackson was waving and saying "bye-bye Santa"...but only from a distance.He may not have gotten close to Santa, but Jackson's no dummy....he made sure to get the loot from the big guy in red before he left.
