Goofball

Jackson is a goofball.  I'm not sure which part of this photo is the funniest:
- The silly expression
- The desire to wear his Santa hat in November
- The fact that he is subtly giving me the finger for taking yet another picture of him

Love this pic of Maggie:

Bevo!

Bevo has come to visit for the holidays!  I have been wanting a lawn longhorn for quite some time and we finally found a place that sells them.  So here is the new addition to our Christmas decorations:

Baby It's Cold Outside

He was dressed for the elements today:

Art on Display

Creme has a little gazebo where they display artwork from various students.  Jackson has one of his masterpieces on display right now!  He is so proud of his "Giant Mountains"

Dad & Diana Visit

Dad and Diana visited this weekend to see us and pick up their new puppy.  We had a great weekend, with dinner at Nicola's, acorn hunting and time at the park. Jackson had a blast!

Happy boy during a long dinner

Happy Little Guy

I love this photo of Jackson...you can really see his cute, fun, mischievous personality:

Soccer

So the second season of soccer didn't really go much better than the first.  He was very intimidated by the other kids who could actually play soccer.  He said they were too fast.  And he didn't like the cheering, he thought the parents and coaches were yelling at him.  Water breaks were his favorite part, he could do that all day.  He also liked sitting, whether on the sidelines or in the middle of the field.  He even got hit in the head by the ball at one game because he was facing the wrong direction and had no idea the ball was headed towards him. And then at his very last game, he actually played.  And he said it was fun.  And that he wants to play again.

Trick or Treat!

Jackson wanted to be a policeman for Halloween this year.  But when we went to pick out the costume, the SWAT costume was most interesting to him.  I think he liked all the toys/gadgets that came with it.  We had a super fun night, he was very much in to the trick or treating this year.  In fact, I think we went to a couple of houses more than once.  I would try to tell him that we had already been there and couldn't go back and he would argue that we had never been there before.  And he definitely wasn't ready to go home when it was time, he could have stayed out there all night collecting candy!  Here are some fun pics from the night:
