It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas





It was finally time to get out all the Christmas decorations and I couldn't wait to get them all up.  I even had a little helper!  Even though he took more off than put on.





 

We also made a Gingerbread Tree, Kevin and I that is, Jackson watched and ate the decorations!





Tada!

New Friend and a Trip to the Beach

We headed to Grammy and Grandpa's for Thanksgiving and to spend a few days.  While we were there Jackson made a new friend.  His name is "the cat" original huh?  The cat showed up recently and hangs out with my dad in his workshop.  Jackson loved the cat but his right hand gal Maddie not so much!





He loves to spend most of his time out side while at Grammy and Grandpa's.
This is where he spent most of his time!


Grammy and Grandpa also had a surprise for Jackson and his cousin Austin.  We all went to check out the big reveal.

The newest Christmas scene!  Can't wait to see how it looks once it snows.



Jackson enjoyed playing in all the sand.  I wonder if he will like it in the snow.


Fall Trip to the Zoo

Earlier this month we headed to the zoo with some friends from our playgroup.  It was a little chilly but we bundled up and enjoyed being one of the few at the zoo that day.


They had a lot of fun in the Children's Zoo.














After lunch and our friends left Jackson and I headed out to do some more exploring.  He loved all the giant leaves and decided to take on along for the rest of the trip!

He also loved greeting Trick or Treater’s at the door in his pjs!

My Little Country Boy

Jackson loved spending a weekend in the country at his Grammy and Grandpa’s.  He loved riding the mule, running through the fields, climbing fences, playing with his cousin and of course riding his new pony Little Fellar!

Jackson also got to gather an egg from the chicken house.  But it didn’t make it very far.
