Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Santa, meet Jackson (round 2)

This year I thought it would be really fun for Jack to experience the Macy's 8th floor display and then meet Santa.  The display was fun for Jack, lots of things to look at. However, Santa, he wasn't too excited about.  He was a pretty good sport though.  He did give us his cute little pouty face but he did sit with him. 

This is our little family on Thanksgiving. 

Our cute little snow angel

We had our first big snow fall just this last weekend and boy did Jack have fun.  While it was happening, he would look out the glass doors into the backyard and just watch it come down.  It was neat to see how fascinated he was by it.  Then the following day we went to Grandma and Grandpa Peters house and Jack got to play in it.  Even though he couldn't move much and sometimes tipped over, he had fun!  And so did  we :)

HaPpY HaLlOwEeN!!!!

The first two pictures are what we awoke to on Halloween moring!  Talk about spooky!  By evening the fog was gone and we headed to our old next door neighbors house for some dinner and trick or treating.  We had a blast!  Jackson had no clue what was going on, but he did well!  We made it to 5 houses.  Can't wait for next year!!

We MOVED!

We are finally in our new house and it feel wonderful!! I hated having to go between two houses and being confused on where things were!  Moving took a very short time on Saturday, however, unpacking took longer.  But as of today, the only thing left to get organized is our closet.  We have had a couple of problems arise but there pretty much fixed. 

Today Jack and I had friends over for a playdate.  Katie is the mom (we went to high school together) and her twins, Matthew and Annika.  It was craaaazy but super fun!  Her and I could have talked all day long if we had the chance!  Unfortunately the kiddos were getting tired so they had to leave for naptime.  Before they left though, they helped Jack go down for his nap.  They came into his room and gave him kisses and then shut the door quietly.  It was so sweet.  They are only a couple of months older than him. 

Best photo of Jack ever!

I think this is the best picture of Jack ever!  Unfortunately, it's not that great of me, but I LOVE his face!!

Jackson goes to school

This fall I decided to sign Jack and I up for early childhood classes up in Linstrom ( soon it won't be "up").  We started last week.  It started out a little chaotic as 8 little 1-2 yr olds ran around the room exploring all the toys.  Jack was very friendly with all the kiddos and parents.  He wasn't afraid of anyone!  He also showed off his climbing skills by climbing (quickly I might add) up the book shelf.  I caught him by the time he was up to the 3rd shelf!  It hit me though, that he is becoming a big boy.  It was right at the moment when I watched him sit at the table with all of the other children and eat his snack.  It was amazing to see 8 of them eating so nicely.  However, that quickly changed once they hadeaten their snack.  Then it was off again to explore the room.  I'm so proud of him!  He is such a friendly boy.  He doesn't hit or bite!  He also likes to share his food.  He tried to give the boy next to him one of his animal crackers today. 

In other news, I have been busy moving and packing.  I have moved about 65% of our stuff to the new house.   I hope to move in a few weeks.  The part I'm bummed about is that I might not be able to decorate for Halloween.  I did decorate the mantel at the new house just in case I can't do the rest of it.
