Jackson and his friend, William, in their Turkey Trot in November. At one point, Jackson grabbed William's hand and said, "Let's do this!" Jackson does not participate readily in sports. We have to encourage him to exercise:). Once he is there, he is fine. During the race, he came upon his friend, William. He saw William and encouraged him to finish the race.
Jackson worked for weeks on his Veterans' Day program.
Nana and Pops showed up to watch.
Ladies getting their nails done the weekend of Betsy's wedding.
Betsy married Bryan Bender on November 21.
So strange for my little sister to be married!
Jackson and Jamie picked out our Christmas tree while the other two boys and Julie stayed in the car.
Jamie and Jackson froze while Julie, Jonathan, and Joel stayed warm in the car at Lowe's.:) The little guys watched movies while their brother and dad were super cold!
Jackson got out of the car to mail a letter for me and this is what his pants looked like. This was the
second time I noticed this after school. Not sure if this was on purpose to be cool or happenstance.
Can't just decorate the tree. There always has to be something crazy going on...
Daddy and the little guys.
Jono and his peers at the mall, waiting to get their picture made with Santa. Each year they go to the mall and have their picture made, roam the mall, and eat lunch. I realized that this kind of situation is bad news for Jono. He did fine for a while but we had to wait for 20 minutes. He kept exerting his will, letting me know he wanted no part in much of what we did. It was hard, being at the mall with all that open space, and he had to obey rules.
Jono sending his "letter" to Santa. This picture belies
the Hell that transpired before. He was not happy.:)
Jackson and his fellow Cub Scouts on their float for the Homewood Christmas parade.No, it was not Mardi Gras.
Jackson's Cub Scout float. He and Jamie were cold but
had a lot of fun. Next year we hope to participate in the
construction of the float.
Jackson had another Market Day at school before Christmas break. He made Lego creations again. He
sold outimmediately. It was hard not to push him to make more Legos so he could make more money.:)
Pops demonstrating how to use the technology that came with
their gift to Jonathan - his own McDonald's drive thru.
Joel playing with his cars.
Jackson showing his gift - a Lego video camera.
Jamie carried our drapes outside where the bats had secured themselves. GROSSSSSS!!!!!!!!
Cuter than we imagined...
