Dr. Jackson

Yesterday, Jackson brought home this mini Jackson that he made.  It's him as a doctor, which is what he wants to be when he grows up.  Just like his Daddy.  His Daddy is his hero, and it melts my heart.

Thanksgiving

Last week was Thanksgiving break, which meant the kids were out of school, which meant I was in heaven!

On Monday, Sarah and her best friends--and her boyfriend!--had their first ever Friendsgiving!  She was so excited!  We made her delicious butternut squash, zucchini, and spinach lasagna together for it, and she couldn't wait to share it with her friends!

Papa Bear was on call on Thanksgiving, so Jackson and I took him one of his favorite dinners and desserts that night.  (Sarah Bear spent the night with one of her best friends.)  

 I love these two goobers!

On Friday, we went to Bryan's parents' house for Thanksgiving.  I made two kinds of sweet potatoes and three desserts--trying to include each of my babies' favorites!

Thank you, God.

The three of them holding hands was all Jackson's idea, and it melts my heart!

When we got home from Thanksgiving, Bryan and Sarah were hugging in the kitchen.  Whenever there's a hug going on, Jackson can sense it, and has to be a part of it--if he's not already!  So once he joined in, I quickly grabbed the camera to capture the sweetness, then Sarah told me to join in...which is exactly what I did after I snapped this.  Family hugs are my favorite.

Dates

Yesterday, we took the kiddos on dates.  We love doing this, and our sweet babies were literally counting down to Sunday...and so were we!

Sarah and I went to Target and did some shopping!  And then, we went to see Wonder.  I hadn't read the book, but Sarah had.  She said it was "sweet, funny, wonderful, and aggressively sad."  So, along with our dark chocolate covered raisins mixed into our popcorn, we also brought a whole box of Kleenex!  We had such a great time!  I just love her so stinkin' much and always cherish our time together!

Jackson and Daddy went to get fried chicken, then went to Cabela's, and to the park!  They had a great time together too!  

Legos

Last night before bed, Jackson was building Legos--one of his favorite past times--and as he was still working he asked, "Mommy, can you take a picture of my Legos when I'm finished building?!"  Always, sweet boy.  Always.

Jackson Lost Another Tooth

 Yesterday, Jackson lost his second front tooth at school!

He was so excited to show us when we picked him up!

And he was also really excited to leave it under his pillow for the Tooth Fairy last night!

It's true what they say...babies don't keep.

Halloween

Last night, we had the best time trick-or-treating with our little Storm Trooper!

Isn't he the cutest?!

He loves all things Star Wars, so when he saw this costume at Target, he had to have it!  It was all he could do not to wear it out of the store!

We love him so!

He just loves trick-or-treating, and we loved watching him!
