Getting the Christmas Tree

While in Summersville on Friday, we took the opportunity to go get our Christmas Tree. This was Jackson's first Christmas Tree cutting adventure- we left him home last year.

He wasn't super sure of the whole thing. First of all he really did not care for the toboggan on his head, but surprisingly he left it on.

Looking for the perfect tree.

Could this be the one?I think we found it! Jackson also enjoyed his first candy cane- he really liked it! Unfortunately, right after this picture was taken he dropped it and a complete melt down occurred. Jackson and I headed back to the Jeep to get warm and poor Daddy had to cut the tree and drag it out by himself.

Long day- warm and cozy in the car means you are almost forced to take a nap!

Thanksgiving Part II

On Friday we went to Summersville to celebrate Thanksgiving with the Tully's. We had a great time! We didn't get any pictures, but it was beautiful with all the snow that was falling, really put us in the holiday mindset.

Jackson and Nana had a great time playing with blocks.
This step is apparently the time out step. Jackson wasn't in time out, but he seemed to think it was great fun to sit there! He's peeking around the corner to see if anyone is paying attention!

He and Papa wrestled around and growled at each other- Jackson could not stop giggling...

We then ran up to his Great Nana's house to visit with some more family. Jackson and his little cousin Jack played very well together in the floor. Jackson liked Jack just fine as long as Jack wasn't sitting on mommy or daddy's lap!

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a great Thanksgiving this year, even though we missed having Uncle Evan at home. Jackson helped me in the kitchen on Thursday morning while I made the dressing for dinner.

He had a great time playing with his cousins. It's pretty clear that he thinks Holt is really cool!

And he had a great time giving Sarah more hugs than she could handle!

Finally, he treated us to an after dinner concert!
