It's hard to believe the holidays are already here! On Wednesday, we drove to Moore to celebrate Thanksgiving with the McGillens. We had picked Jackson up during his naptime, thinking he would sleep in the car. Nope! He had a 45 minute nap that day and did surprisingly well! On Wednesday night, after dinner, we headed out to a local park so that Jackson could run off some of his extra energy. We all had fun pretending to be Buzz, Woody and Zurg!
Linda made some cute cupcakes that looked like turkeys (made with frosting and candy corn). We discovered Jackson REALLY likes candy corn! Wish I had got a picture of them. They were cute.
Here we are for our Thankgiving feast!
While we were resting before dessert (an extremely yummy pumpkin pie - I need the recipe!), Jackson decided he needed to do a little work on his phone. I love how he calls this "his" phone. He is so good at playing on the iTouch! I also love how he has just settled into a comfy spot in the chair - make yourself at home, Jackson!
Earlier that morning, we were going through all of the Black Friday ads. The Walmart Toy add caught Jackson's eye. He looks so serious!
While we were at the McGillens, we helped them put up and decorate their Christmas tree. Jackson liked hanging the ornaments, though he kept wanting to put them on the lights rather than the branches. We can also tell at school they are doing a lot of matching. All of the red ornaments had to go on the red lights, green ornaments on the green lights, etc. I wonder where he got all of those organizational skills, Tom??
Once he covered the bottom half, we brought out the step stool (he calls it his "climber").
Hmmm, where should this go?
Ta daa!!! I can't tell you how many pictures of this we took. I love Jackson's face in this one - it's like he's copying Tom and trying to figure out if he did it right!
On Friday, we all go together at my parents house. This picture is pure Jenna!!
Reese decided to help me and mom butter the bread...
...only we forgot to tell her that you're supposed to wait to eat it until you cook it in the oven!
Happy Thanksgiving! We started a new tradition this year - delicious crab cakes! They were yummy. Can't wait for next year! Mom brought out Grandma's Thanksgiving decorations. It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without them and Grandma's salt and pepper dispenser!
I hope everyone had a fun and family-filled Thanksgiving. I know we did! We have so much to be thankful for this year. What a wonderful day!
